So way, way fewer lives are at stake.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wanted to know what goes on inside a delivery drone command center, or haven\u2019t at all, Wing is giving a look behind the scenes and a day in the life of a commercial drone operator. Perhaps you\u2019re picturing someone in <em>Top Gun<\/em> sunglasses, an orange vest, and waving batons as drones lift off all around them and onlookers mutter, \u201cGodspeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s more like a desk with multiple screens featuring a rudimentary flight simulator, which doesn\u2019t let you fly. At its newest facility in Dallas-Fort Worth metro area (where it operates deliveries for Walgreens, among others), the pilots oversee\u00a0multiple simultaneous flights across entire service areas in\u00a0Texas, Virginia, and as far as Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the process is automated and there\u2019s actually very little human interaction with the drones, except the part when they\u2019re loaded up. When an order comes in, a partner employee attaches the payload at the \u201cnest,\u201d which is where the drones sit, charge, and shoot the breeze while they wait for their orders (a Pixar film about this seems inevitable).<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"qb__LX43yA0\" params=\"start=82\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qb__LX43yA0\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Once that payload is attached (aluminum foil or condoms or whatever the person ordered), the flight navigation system plans its own routes, and then the drone sets off, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ling to a destination in about a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/12\/9\/23501326\/wing-alphabet-remote-drone-command-centers\">four to six mile radius<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the command center they have a view of the nest as the drones lift off, but they\u2019re not flying them with joysticks or anything (\u201cPull up!\u201d), and not seeing a live feed through their onboard cameras that feels like flying.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the pilots are watching little drone icons as they complete the deliveries on a GPS map, keeping abreast of inclement weather, and making sure the drones don\u2019t slam into each other like two waiters at a busy restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>While hands-on intervention is rare, a ground support team is available to be dispatched to the drone\u2019s location, in case it needs repositioning on a charging pad or tries to go to space.<\/p>\n<p>The whole process is a more complicated version of when you\u2019re watching your pizza move closer to your house in a delivery <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> pizza tracker.
