Already a subscriber?Lightweight, styrofoam drones will soon be flying over Victoria, delivering meals and packages to homes in Melbourne’s sprawling outer-eastern suburbs as Alphabet subsidiary Wing ramps up its expansion of the technology in Australia.
“Australia, from a technology, from a commercial and from a regulatory point of view, is leading the way for sure, and that’s encouraging,” Mr Suskin said. While the sight of a drone delivery might be a shock for thousands of Melburnians, Mr Suskin said it would soon become a normal part of life. Mr Suskin said the delivery method had taken off in Queensland during the pandemic, but take-up did not stop as restrictions eased. He said rather than a truck, or a car, drones offered a more economical, environmentally friendly alternative for last-mile delivery in a country like Australia.“We think it’s a better match of a vehicle to use a five-kilogram drone made of styrofoam to move a small package, rather than a car that weighs 2000 kilograms.
