Angry Raven attacked a Google drone delivering coffee

A raven took offence to drones flying through its area in the Canberra suburb of Harrison. And has seen on video swooping down on the delivery device and stealing its food. The ingenious and game-changing delivery system developed by an Australian business owner has greeted with an odd issue – an angry bird. A raven attacked a Google drone that was delivering a package to a caffeine-craving man’s house. Just nearly knocking the gadget out of the air and leaving the customer stunned and disoriented. A video of the incident has now gone viral on social media, capturing the attention of millions.

A raven took offence to drones flying through its area in the Canberra suburb of Harrison. And has seen on video swooping down on the delivery device and stealing its food. Ben Roberts, who was waiting for his cup of coffee, has startled to discover that the Google drone has attacked by an angry raven. Which was pecking furiously at the gadget in an attempt to bring it down.

In an article published by the Herald Sun, it has stated that the drones have flown by Wing. A programme conducted in conjunction with Google that delivers minor items such as food, medicine, and coffee to customers. The vehicle fought to maintain its altitude while under attack by the big bird. Finally, the drone was able to fix its position and deliver the object, which has tethered to a rope, to Roberts’ location.

Having demonstrated their devotion to environmental causes, the corporation notified the customer that ornithologists would be sent in to conduct an investigation into the occurrence.

The Company Grounded it’s Drone Delivery Service

It should noted, however, that this was not an unique incident. Large ravens have come dangerously close to bringing down at least two such aerial devices in the area in recent days.

According to the report. Following the attacks, the company has compelled to halt its drone operations. In order to protect both the birds and its own gadgets, according to the report’s sources.

It has been reported that the fight for aerial domination has been sparked by the fact that nesting season has coincided with an increase in demand for drone deliveries during Canberra’s pandemic-induced lockdown.

According to ornithologist Neil Hermes, “attacking drones is new” for ravens. Although they have known to attack anything if they believe it is a threat to their nests. If you interviewed the birds now, I believe you would discover that they were confident in their victory,” Herman said.

Google parent Alphabet houses several initiatives under its X research division, one of them is Project Wing, focused on making seamless drone deliveries a reality. We very well know the skies will be flooded with autonomous drones in the coming years and simultaneous management of the same will become a necessity.

This is precisely what Google is currently trying to achieve and has already…

For two years, the company has been working to build flying robots that can deliver products across a city in a minute or two.

Workers Leaving the Googleplex from Andrew Norman Wilson on Vimeo.

Read This and Watch the Video so that you understand what's really happening in that mysterious Yellow Tag Class at Google.

Google’s Secret Class System

Brian Barrett — Life in the Googleplex has a fairy tale allure: gourmet food! Ski trips! Giant dessert statues popping up out of nowhere every six months! And if working for the company seems like some alternaworld fantasy dreamscape, well, it kind of is. Just not, it turns out, for everyone.

Google drones work under a caste system: employees wear different colored badges to indicate their status. That's not new or surprising, and doesn't really mean much, other than that you can spot a Google intern (literally) a half a mile away. They're the ones in green. White badges are full-timers, and red badges—numbering in the thousands—are contractors. And then, as Andrew Norman Wilson found, when working as a Google contractor from 2007-2008, there are the yellow badges. A class of employee that exists largely apart from the rest of the Google hive, sequestered to building 3.1459~, denied the benefits that nearly everyone else shares in.

Wilson's video-cum-art installation "Workers Leaving the Googleplex" shows the comings and goings of this fourth class, a group that's apparently denied access to the company's outsized privileges. Their jobs? To scan books, page by page, for Google Book Search. Menial, repetitive contract labor, sure, but certainly not any less so than that performed by the red-badged custodians and kitchen staff. So why are they cordoned off? Wilson decided to find out:

I was outside the Google Book Search building, which is adjacent to the building I work in, and had the chance to talk to a few employees while they were leaving work. Most of them are people of color and are supposedly involved in the labor of digitizing information. I'm interested in issues of class, race, and labor, and so out of general curiosity I wanted to ask these workers about their jobs.

His attempts to interview, film, and discover were stymied early on; Google security stopped him, and reportedly the company pressured his bosses to terminate his employment. Which, soon after the incident, they did.

You'll notice that Wilson tilts his lance unsteadily at race and class as the underlying reason why the yellow badges don't get to join in Google's reindeer games. That seems unlikely, frankly, and it's hard to feel too bad for people with reliable jobs just because they don't get to ride a limo shuttle home. There are also other factors—the secrecy of the Google Books project, the menial nature of the job itself—that I'm sure weigh more heavily in the decision to silo these men and women.

But there's a larger point about Google itself here, about a company whose entire image is built on how it treats its workers—even the contracted ones. After all, all contracted employees are expected to adhere to Google's Code of Conduct. Which, by the way, makes it perfectly clear that everyone should share the same advantages:

We are committed to a supportive work environment, where employees have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Each Googler is expected to do his or her utmost to create a respectful workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination of any kind.
