In brief: The dream of making drone deliveries as ubiquitous as those made by humans is still alive, with companies like Wing doing their best to figure out a working strategy for how to do it at scale. So far, the Alphabet-owned company has done around 400,000 test flights and is on track to reach 100,000 deliveries in the two years since it started its pilot program in Logan, Australia. Delivery drone company Wing today said it would likely hit over 100,000 customer deliveries by the end of this week. The milestone will be reached just as the Alphabet-owned company comes close to its second anniversary after a pilot launch in Logan, Australia, home to more than 300,000 people. Wing says it delivered over 10,000 cups of coffee,1,200 roast chickens, and 1,700 snack packs to residents in Logan alone, but the company also operates in Finland and the US, where it has made over 50,000 drone deliveries to date.
