Systems can also be flashing red or yellow lights to remind people to keep away.
Patent applications, "said courier drops may have contact with the ground or other object height (for example, 12-15 feet), express delivery rate will be as fast as possible, and then will slow down the speed to avoid delivery damages or injuries, but they have to maintain a certain speed, prevents a predecessor from the rope down Express. Express rate helps to improve the speed of delivery as possible, saving time and fuel for unmanned, improving efficiency. ”
Google Project owned by x-Wing in Australia for unmanned delivery tests, but using "free-fall" method of discharge, the security measures described in this patent are not used.

谷歌获无人机送快递专利：货物用绳索空投 - 快递,无人机,

北京时间5月3日消息，据硅谷网站Mercurynews报道，谷歌当地时间周二被授予的一项专利，描述了无人机在处于悬停状态时利用绳索“空投”快递的方法。在快递高度降低过程中，安装在快递上的“旁观者通信模块”会发出“避让提示”，例如蜂鸣声。系统也可以发出闪烁的红色或黄色灯光，提醒人们不要靠近。
专利申请材料称，“在快递下降到可能接触到地面上的人或其他物体的高度(例如12-15英尺)前，快递下降速度将尽可能快，然后会放慢下降速度，避免造成快递损毁或人员受伤，但又要保持一定速度，防止在着地前人从绳索上解下快递。尽量提高快递下降速度有助于提高送货速度，节省时间和无人机燃料，提高效率。”
Google X旗下Project Wing曾在澳大利亚进行无人机送货试验，但当时采用了“自由落体式”卸货方法，没有采用这项专利描述的安全措施。
Wedbush Securities分析师迈克尔·帕切特(Michael Pachter)认为，至少需要5年，甚至是10年或更长时间，美国政府才会批准无人机送快递，届时，无人驾驶汽车将占领城市地区的快递市场。
谷歌没有披露这件专利的细节。谷歌一名发言人说，“我们拥有各式各样的专利，部分专利能转化成产品或服务，部分则不能。”
