Drone delivers pizza
Print Edition
THEY come topped with pepperoni, chicken tikka or vegetarian. But a flying variety may soon be found on Indian pizza menus, after an outlet in Mumbai said it had successfully delivered by drone.
Staff at Francesco’s Pizzeria in south Mumbai were inspired by the news that online retail giant Amazon was planning to use unmanned drones to deliver goods, and decided to try one out as a means to beat the city’s notorious traffic.
“We successfully carried out a test delivery by sending a pizza to a customer located 1.5 kilometers from our outlet on May 11,” said Francesco’s Pizzeria chief executive Mikhel Rajani. “What we have done now will be common place in the next four to five years,” he said, adding that the customized four-rotor drones each cost around US$2,000. A video of the delivery was posted on YouTube.
