Despite challenges ranging from regulations to noise, cost, safety, and public acceptance, Walmart continues to push ahead with tests of drone delivery. A new partnership with Wing, a drone-delivery provider owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent company, enables air delivery to an additional 60,000 homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area — even for frozen items like ice cream and fragile products like eggs.
The partnership begins in the coming weeks with deliveries under 30 minutes from a Walmart in Frisco. A second hub will open nearby later this year.
