Most likely, Google is going to use the newly acquired company for its Project Loon - the network for planetary access to the Internet , well, to gain world domination, which is already there ...

This all happens against the background of the fact that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to insist on the illegality of using drones in cities , which increases the riskiness of investments in companies in this sector, although the ban does not apply to stratospheric drones.

By the way, this is not the first company in this sector over the past year, bought by Google - in May last year Makani , the manufacturer of autonomous flying turbines, was bought.
