Alphabet’s Wing will deliver DoorDash by drone in Dallas-Fort Worth


Hot to go (at heights of about 150 feet).

Wing, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, is expanding its drone delivery service to DoorDash customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Starting today, 50 merchants from malls in Frisco and Fort Worth will be available for drone delivery through the DoorDash app, dropping meals and items to homes “in as little as 15 minutes,” according to Wing. The drones can fly at up to 65mph and reach a cruising height of about 150 feet before stopping to hover and safely lower orders to the ground at their delivery destinations.
