Japan Post closer to replacing snail mail with autonomous drones
the Wing Delivery Network – a logistics platform the outfit claims"can support high-volume drone delivery across a major metro area or a more sparsely populated region."
"Up to this point, the industry has been fixated on drones themselves – designing, testing, and iterating on aircraft, rather than finding the best way to harness an entire fleet for efficient delivery," wrote Wing CEO Adam Woodworth."We see drone delivery at scale looking more like an efficient data network than a traditional transportation system."
"For businesses and other organizations, building drone delivery into the last mile can be as simple as ordering drones, turning them on, and letting them connect to the network," Woodworth wrote, adding"our pilots can oversee fleets of autonomous delivery drones to ensure they're operating, and interoperating, safely and efficiently."
The CEO suggested the Delivery Network could be flying by 2024 when"we expect our system to be capable of handling millions of deliveries for millions of consumers at a lower cost per delivery than ground transportation can achieve for fast delivery of small packages." ®
