Drone delivery services now competing for Texas customers seeking shorter delivery times

When Tom Coulis ordered ice cream, it wasn't delivered to his Texas home in a traditional way.

Five minutes after ordering the sweet treat through Wing — owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet — the item arrived in Coulis' driveway by drone. Coulis could've ordered the item through an online delivery platform like Uber Eats or Doordash, but it would've taken a bit longer.

"Totally faster and better quality product, and it's not melted," Coulis told CBS News' Kris Van Cleave.
