無人機開始送快遞了

Alphabet-owned drone delivery spin-out Wing is starting to service U.S. customers, after becoming the first drone delivery company to get the federal go-ahead to do so earlier this year.

Alphabet（谷歌重組後的“傘形公司”）擁有的無人機快遞公司Wing開始爲美國消費者服務了，今年早些時候已成爲第一個讓美國提前開始此項服務的無人機快遞公司。

Wing is working with FedEx Express and Walgreens on this pilot, and their first customers are Michael and Kelly Collver, who will get a "cough and cold pack," which includes Tylenol, cough drops, facial tissues, Emergen-C and bottled water (do people who have colds need bottled water?).

Wing的這一項目與聯邦快遞和沃爾格林公司合作，第一批顧客是Michael和Kelly Collver，他們將得到“咳嗽和感冒包裹”，包括泰諾、止咳藥、面巾紙、Emergen-C和瓶裝水（感冒的人需要瓶裝水嗎？）

The Collvers are receiving their package in Christianburg, Va., which is where Wing and Walgreens will run this inaugural pilot of the drone delivery service.

Collver一家人將在弗吉尼亞州Christianburg收到包裹，也是Wing和沃爾格林公司無人機快遞服務的首個試點地區。

Walgreens gets a noteworthy credit in the bargain, becoming the first U.S. retailer to do a store-to-customer doorstep delivery via drone, while FedEx will be the first logistics provider to deliver an e-commerce drone delivery with a separate shipment.

這次合作中沃爾格林公司獲得了顯著的好評，成爲美國第一個通過無人機送貨上門的零售商，聯邦快遞將成爲第一個單獨用無人機爲電商送快遞的物流供應商。

Wing is also working with Virginia's Sugar Magnolia, a retailer local to the state, and that part of the equation is focused on proving out how Wing and drone delivery can service last-mile e-commerce customers at their homes.

Wing也在和弗吉尼亞州的Sugar Magnolia公司合作，該公司是當地零售商，這一合作重點是要證明Wing和無人機快遞如何爲電商消費者送貨上門。

Sugar Magnolia customers can get small items, including chocolates and paper goods, delivered directly to them via drone through the new pilot.

Sugar Magnolia公司的消費者能買小件物品，包括巧克力和紙製品，新的試運行項目可以用無人機直接將貨物送給消費者。

Wing was able to do this with a new Air Carrier Certificate from the FAA that clears it for expanded service, specifically allowing Wing's pilots to manage multiple aircraft flying without any human pilot on board at the same time, while providing service to the public.

Wing能做到這些是因爲有美國聯邦航空管理局頒發的新的航空承運人證書，允許其擴展業務，特別是允許Wing的飛行員在爲公衆服務時同時管理多架飛行中的無人駕駛的飛機。
