Google Discuss Plans To Start Drone Delivery By 2017

<span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>Google Driverless Car</strong></span> The Google Self-Driving Car has been in the works since 2005 after a team of engineers won a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to design an autonomous car. The project, which aims to reduce traffic accidents, has made headway in recent years as states passed laws permitting self-driving cars. Google plans a commercial release between 2017 and 2020.

Tech giant is currently in talks with the FAA

Google’s new parent company Alphabet plans to start using drones to deliver packages to customers by 2017, the drone initiative’s top executive said on Monday.
Google is engaged in a dialogue with the Federal Aviation Administration to set up a system that would enable air traffic control of drones flying below 500 feet, David Vos, head of Google’s drone program Project Wing, said at a conference, according to Reuters.
Companies like Amazon and Walmart have also announced drone-delivery initiatives, but federal approval of the initiatives remains uncertain.
