Google's secret drone delivery system

Google reveals secret drone delivery system that has been in the works for two years. CNN's Athena Jones reports.

Hear that? It's the building above the potential business by drone.[A neighbor in the neighborhood]: Listen to this. Dog food to my dog place.

Any now back to Rock Terriff, Google has announced its latest aspiration, a drone delivery system for anything from dog treats to first aid kits.

Project 'Wing' aspires to take another big chunk of the remaining fraction out of moving things around the world. Moving things around, mainly products to paying customers, is something companies like Google are looking to streamline. It might look like a strange move for Google, which is building its empire around searches, maths and advertising.

[Alexis Madrigal]: What they wanna do is have the world work more like the Internet. Right? They want all of these autonomous pieces out there working on your behalf.

Google is no stranger to innovation and expansion, like its driver-less car prototype.

The Atlantics Alexis Mandrigal was giving an exclusive access to the Google team behind the secretive drone project. He says Google wants to transform the world, quickly delivering medical supplies and other goods to people in the hard-to-reach places.

[Alexis Madrigal]: The postal system changed the society. Fedex delivery overnight changed the society. SameDay delivery changed the society. So don't you think being able to givea package in 2 minutes would also change the society?

This time Goolge is actually a bit behind. Amazon introduced their prototype last December. And Domino's Pizza tried their own Domicopter drone in June 2013. The coast guards already used drone for surveillance on ice sheets in Alaska. Real estate agencies are using them to show homes. Or they would even use them to survey the earthquake struck now in California this month. But why spread use is likely years away? And these little bit important safety and privacy and technical issues have to be addressed first. The Federal Aviation Administration is said to drop the world's fully integrated drone into the National Air Space by September 2015. Perhaps that's one reason Google tested its system in Australia.

And another big question here, Jake, is are we ready for this? Privacy and safety issues are sorted. Those are numerous. Are we looking at the future? Will delivery truck drivers not get jobs? We are gonna have thousands of drone flying around our city. That's something a lot of people many find it hard to imagine. But of course other people are gonna say 'Hey, bring it up.'

A lot of potential questions and problems there. And Athena Jones, thank you so ...
