Good luck with Project Wing, Google. This drone moonshot is NEVER going to happen

Stated Goals

Googles original vision for this project was to deliver defibrillators in an emergency to inaccessible areas and its stated enlarged goal is for delivering emergency items in areas where the infrastructure has been decimated, through earthquakes or other natural disasters and war etc. Also the possibility for the delivery of drugs or medical devices to people in inaccessible areas holds great promise...

It is not being developed as a home delivery system although should the tech become good enough in the future that may be possible in certain suitable areas..

Collision detection is routine on most high end drones now along with image recognition, real time 3D mapping etc etc and getting better all the time. As it currently stands it's in its infancy but it's aims are achievable with current technology.

Pay-by-bonk on the blink: O2 loses Wallet

Wallet crippled by lack of NFC.

If failed because it "WAS NOT" Pay by bonk. Without NFC it offered nothing.

I signed up to it and played around trying to figure out what I could actually do with it that was useful. The conclusion was nothing.

I want pay by bonk on my mobile, most of my friends want to be able to use the NFC capability of their mobile. Unfortunately no-one in the UK currently supports it, when they do I will sign up and leave my wallet at home.
