Philly region one of seven metro areas tapped for Walmart's drone delivery service

A drone might deliver your next Walmart order. Our region is among seven new metro areas in line for the service from the retailer and Wing. The drone delivery company says it can fly at speeds up to 60 miles an hour. The machines use a tether to lower packages to a customer's yard or driveway as fast as half an hour after an order is placed. Walmart and Wing say they'll share safety and reliability details with local leaders and community members before launching.
