Walgreens will be the first retailer in the U.S. to test an on-demand drone delivery service with Wing in Christiansburg, Virginia next month. The rule will require drones to implement a remote ID system, which will make it possible for third parties to track them. The measure will help law enforcement identify unauthorized drones that may pose a security threat, paving the way for wider adoption of commercial drone technology. The rule said that the FAA expects all eligible drones in the U.S. to comply with the rule within three years. In October, Alphabet's drone unit Wing officially launched the country's first commercial drone delivery flight.

Alphabet held a closed-door meeting with internal executives and external retailers last week to discuss potential investments and strategies in the logistics sector. The event, which was held in Silicon Valley, was called the Alphabet Advanced Logistics Summit and hosted by Alphabet's research and development unit, "X," and its recently spun out infrastructure company Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners, the company confirmed to CNBC. Alphabet invested $550 million in China's second-largest online shopping service, JD.com, last year and began selling some of its goods in March. It also comes a few months after Sidewalk Labs spun out a separate entity in August called Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners, which is still backed by Alphabet and Sidewalk Labs. Sidewalk Labs is known for working on a high-profile and controversial new urban smart city on the waterfront of Toronto, for which it released the master plan in June.

Construction continues at what Wing calls "The Nest," it's New River Valley base of operations adjacent to the mall. Wing said its drones can fly a distance of six miles, but on Friday it announced its initial delivery area, which is a bit smaller than that.
