Alphabet Drones Won't Be Serving Coffee Anytime Soon

Company Is Severing Its Partnership With Starbucks

Alphabet, the company that used to be called Google, has been working hard on its Project Wing drone delivery initiative, but it looks like now it is pulling back from the idea.

Engadget reports that Alphabet has told some employees who are attached to Project Wing to look for other jobs inside the company, and it severed ties with Starbucks.

The online tech site relays information obtained from Bloomberg that Alphabet was exploring the possibility of delivering coffee via its proprietary drones. But the idea was squashed over "disagreements about the access to customer data that Alphabet wanted."

And of course, to Alphabet, data is everything.

The Project Wing announcement comes shortly after Alphabet revealed that it was scaling back its ambitious plan to install fiber optic Internet connectivity in several cities.
