Google Says Drone Technology Isn’t Ready, Goes For Parachute Deliveries Instead (For April Fools’ Obviously)

Google loads the web with April Fools’ pranks each year, and the company is getting even more attention than usual for one particular prank this year. Read about the ill-fated Gmail Mic Drop feature, which Google pulled relatively early in the day due to…complications.

Admitting that drone delivery technology is interesting, but not ready for prime time, the company says in the video that it’s launching parachute deliveries.
