Pies in the Sky: Wing Drone Delivery Takes Flight at Google I/O

I got a firsthand look at Wing's drone delivery service at Google I/O, where they were literally dropping off pies. It's easy to dismiss these things as futuristic stunts, but Wing is actually operating commercially in places like Dallas and Charlotte.

Here's the breakdown: these aren't massive cargo drones; they're about 11 pounds and designed to carry smaller packages, up to 2.5 pounds. Think a Walmart order or a DoorDash meal. What's notable is their speed – they can fly up to 65 mph. Wing claims this means a full delivery can be completed in under 15 minutes. It's a glimpse into how last-mile delivery might evolve.
