Does Wal-Mart test drone delivery in America?

Yes, on September 9, local time, the American retail giant Wal-Mart began to test the delivery of groceries on demand with drones, and launched a pilot project in North Carolina.

According to the design, groceries and household necessities ordered by consumers are put into blue shopping bags by the clerk and put into the express box below the hanging machine. The drone accepts the instructions of the cloud system, flies over the open space in front of the customer's house, and then puts the shopping bag with goods on the ground through the rope.

Wal-Mart hopes that the plan will "help shape the potential of drone delivery on a larger scale" and "make Wal-Mart surpass the past." However, Wal-Mart also acknowledges that it will take some time for drones to be widely used for parcel delivery.

Freeden said in an interview with CNN on the 9th that the United States is a global laggard in dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. I didn't wear a mask when I should have worn it, and I didn't take the epidemic seriously.

In its article in official website, Time magazine asked, "The COVID-19 epidemic has killed nearly 200,000 Americans. How many lives does it take for the United States to embark on the right path to fight the epidemic? "
