The confirmation came the voice of David Vos, head of Project Wing of the Alphabet. Vos explains that the company is trying to obtain permission from the authorities and shareholders to build a drone control system for heights below 150 meters and that use cellular networks and the Internet for guidance. “The goal is to have a business to operate already in 2017″, cites the Reuters .
It is known that the prototype of this drone for deliveries has been tested in Australia and now in USA, through a partnership with NASA. Vos is one of the leaders of the FAA, which regulates the airspace in the US, so the approval process can be accelerated.
Amazon and Alphabet await both an FAA decision on the establishment of a trading system deliveries by drones. The FAA is working on a system that identifies the drones individually and keep the UAV away from other aircraft. With this system in place, the authorities may allow companies to start their operations.
