These drones will not be used to sell and deliver products sold by google

Google does not intend to use these vehicles to sell anything or delivery of products sold by them, the tests are performed in order to transport some items to the most remote areas where traditional transport does not reach easily, are experimenting with delivery of water and dog food packages first.

The unmanned vehicle structure is built on light fiber and the scientists have the ability to rise between 40 and 60 meters over different obstacles around.

The following is one of the videos show by Google and its testing on a farm 160km from Brisbane:
