Uber to Soon Begin Delivering Food With Drones
- 5 years ago
Uber to Soon Begin Delivering Food With Drones Bloomberg Businessweek says that trials will start in
San Diego this summer. Bloomberg adds that the drones will first deliver food to "safety zones," not people's houses. From there, Uber employees
take the packages to
the customer. Uber is expected to team up with McDonald's for
the trial run. San Diego residents will need to pay up to $8.50
for drone delivery. In only seven minutes, Uber says the drones
can travel one and a half miles. Eric Allison, who is in charge of
aerial assignments, says Uber Eats'
success has driven the drone project. Eric Allison, via Bloomberg
