“Walmart drone delivery has already begun in Atlanta and is coming to Orlando in early 2026,” reports The Doomslayer.
CBS News explains:
Live in metro Atlanta? Your next delivery from Walmart may be coming from the sky.
The retailer and automated drone company Wing is launching a new delivery system in metro Atlanta, just in time for the busy holiday shopping period.
Products eligible for the drone delivery include groceries, gifts, household goods, and over-the-counter medicine, the company announced.
Eligible customers can place orders through the Wing app and confirm the delivery location on their property. Once the package is loaded, the drones fly at around 60 mph about 150 feet off the ground. When the drone arrives at the drop-off location, it lowers the package to the ground without any assistance.
WFTV adds:
Grocery shopping could soon look much different in Orlando. On Tuesday, the city announced that a drone delivery service is expected to be available to residents next year…
The drone delivery service, Wing, is partnering with Walmart to bring this service to Orlando in early 2026.
With hundreds of thousands of home deliveries under its belt, Wing said it is the first drone delivery company with the FAA’s approval to get that flight permission.
Earlier, Walmart announced plans to expand drone deliveries to around 100 more stores in three states.
Drones are providing vaccines to immunize hundreds of thousands of children in the African nations of Ghana and Kenya, protecting them against potentially lethal diseases.
On some American farms, there are drones with artificial intelligence that spray fungicides to kill pests. As Bloomberg News notes, “These aerial acrobats use less than a tenth of the energy of ground tractors — and they don’t squash the crops, rut the earth or even touch the soil.”
Robots with artificial intelligence will reduce the need for weed-killer and pesticides by more precisely targeting weeds and pests. That will cut farmers’ costs, and radically reduce the size of the crop chemical industry, because robots will use up to 90% less spray to kill the same number of weeds and pests. Some robots using artificial intelligence can identify and kill 100,000 weeds per hour.
