And thus we get closer to fluffing the prophecy that was foretold in Wall-E
Same as any other delivery service really. Just means the driver is kept away from the recipient.
5G man – they’ll be beaming food directly to our brains
Yeah I mean it might make sense if you live within a few minutes walk of the place, but don’t drones have to be flown within line of sight of the operator and away from public streets etc? Smacks a bit of a short marketing exercise more than a viable service anyway.
I think they have a agreement with Air traffic control about this – they were on the radio talking about it all before the summer, technically it is more environmentally friendly than delivery drivers driving around… but anyway more crap to your door whenever you want… instant-ish gratification, what could possibly go wrong
the noise won’t be environmentally friendly if the food isn’t for you
looking at the picture, would food not be really cold when it arrives?
marketing stunt while industry figures out what the purpose may be. flying smack into the Joy?
Do you think it flies around the the food dangling on a cable or do you the hollow space inside the drone’s open hatch might be used to store the food during flight to the destination?
