A new, drone-shaped icon now appears within the DoorDash delivery app for certain customers in metropolitan Atlanta.

Tapping the icon will open a selection of restaurants at Tanger Outlets Locust Grove near the suburb of McDonough that deliver from Wing, the drone delivery arm of Google parent Alphabet. Per DoorDash, the small, buzzing aircraft will deliver to customers within 6 miles of the outlet in as little as 20 minutes.
