FAST FOOD JUST GOT FASTER

• If you havent noticed how drones are continuing
  to be used by companies for a wide range of
  purposes, and are increasingly being featured in
  news reports the world over, then you must have
  been living in a social void for the past couple
  of decades! The future is very much drone shaped,
  and several industries have been using them with
  great success to deliver items within a certain
  weight range. Companies like Flytrex and Google
  have started using drones to deliver small,
  everyday items, and the medical industry have
  been using them to deliver supplies to hard to
  reach areas and have even delivered organs from a
  to b to quite literally save lives.

• Aerial delivery may sound too futuristic, but
  with constant advances in drone technology,
  companies like Uber Eats can realistically
  explore this delivery avenue and bring food to
  customers faster than ever before. Trials began
  last year, with the company working with San
  Diego State University to run test flights over
  water and secure environments, to try and develop
  a system of delivery that would be robust and
  reliable. Ubers McDonalds deliveries are set to
  start up again soon using drones, and other
  restaurant chains may follow suit.
• In a bid to retain the need for a courier on the
  ground, and prevent potential issues such as
  drone interference, direct interaction between
  drone and customer and many others, Uber Eats
  believes in making drones an integral part of the
  supply chain between restaurant and customer.

• They even envision the drivers vehicles to
  become landing pads for the drones carrying food
  parcels.
• The overall goal of Uber Eats is to expand their
  delivery options to give customers the best
  experience at the mere tap of a button and using
  their network of restaurant partners and aviation
  and tech experience with Uber Elevate, they
  believe theyre in a unique position and they
  may just be right.
• What problems have they faced so far?
• Trial runs have seen drones attempting to land on
  mailboxes or in backyards with the help of a
  parachute, but they are generally unsuccessful.

• In high density environments where the average
  home doesnt have a backyard, or even a mailbox,
  the drone simply has nowhere to land. Trials are
  continuing as we speak, with several companies
  determined to come up with a fool proof solution,
  and Uber Eats certainly not giving up on the idea
  of drone delivery, which they believe will
  benefit both parties.
• What do the FAA have to say?
• While things may not be happening quickly, the
  FAA are allowing more companies to experiment
  with drone delivery in certain airspaces, with
  some already having been granted approval to make
  commercial deliveries.

• You can be sure that companies like Google and
  Amazon wont give up on their ambitious plans to
  use drones, it will be a matter of how much
  leeway the FAA are prepared to give them.
• So, the next time you get last minute or
  late-night munchies, you might just find your
  food quite literally flying to your doorstep!
