Your favorite colonel is teaming up with Google’s sister company Wing to satiate those fried chicken hankerings. In about the same amount of time it takes for chicken to crisp up and get its golden hue, people in some parts of Australia will now be able to get their KFC favorites delivered by a drone.
The trial run for this initiative is being conducted in Logan, Queensland – a place Wing calls the “drone delivery capital of the world.” Wing customers in the area can get a range of hot and fresh KFC menu items delivered directly to their homes and workplaces via a drone that travels at speeds approaching 110 kph (70 mph).
The Alphabet-owned company explains that its software performs and analyses 15 million simulations each day to detect changes in weather and terrain, stress test the delivery systems, and continually improve the routing to create a custom, optimal path for the aircraft to follow to the very spot the customer selects for delivery.
