Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is testing a drone delivery system, starting Wednesday. The tests will be run in three Chinese cities — Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. About 450 customers of Alibaba's Taobao service will receive a package of ginger tea in the one-time tests. Even if successful, the experiment won't mean widespread drone delivery any time soon, as Chinese regulators limit drone flights for security reasons. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos also is developing plans for drone deliveries.
