Google swoops into drone deliveries
Happy Tuesday! It's Paul Davidson bringing you the latest headlines from The Daily Money.
Google is diving into the drone delivery space.
An electric Google Wing recently dropped a package in Denver’s Coors Field to demonstrate the company’s ability to fly drones in major U.S. cities. It also marked the first delivery to a professional sports stadium.
Google has invested heavily in drone-delivery technology. In a big city in Australia, it’s plunking down packages and sushi dinners from autonomous aerial vehicles as often as every 25 seconds.
Amazon and Walmart have already delivered packages to some U.S. cities but the practice is still mostly in the trial stage because of regulatory restrictions in this country.

Keenan has developed a list of cities most insulated from the effects of climate change. It’s topped by Duluth, Minnesota; Orlando, Florida; and Asheville, North Carolina.
