Last week, I was invited to Google´s offices for a workshop called 10x. 10x stands for “think 10 times bigger, think outside the box”. Basically, think about ways to improve what you do, make it revolutionary and of course, make sure it has an impact on the society.
We talked about the many innovative projects that Google has created in the past few years such as, for example, the Google glasses (who wants to carry a laptop if you can just carry glasses), or Loon´s Project, trying to get internet to every single corner of the world. Think also about a car without a driver, a robot! … Wait, what? Right, wait until the next one… if we were not impressed enough by now, what else, Google?
It welcomes you to Project Wing: the new initiative that will deliver goods to consumers using the robot aircraft in 2017. Hard to believe, huh?
Their goal is to have commercial business up an running by 2017, but what exactly does this mean? Imagine you are in Australia in the middle of nowhere, everything is too far away but you urgently need dog food. Well, don´t worry anymore, Google´s drones will deliver it to you! Communication and collaboration are the key´s for new Google´s Project.
You are probably asking yourself, are the leading experts in the field discussing the best approaches to implementing an air-traffic control regimen for drones? Yes. Well, not Google, but Amazon has already explained its plan for a drone air-traffic management regime. According to Amazon, the airspace between altitudes of 200 and 400 feet above the ground would be saved for small drones with on-board communications equipment and sensors flying at high speeds.
Are we ready? Share your opinions! Check for more information in the following links:
