A small restaurant in the crowded city of Mumbai has tested the use of drones to deliver your pizza directly to your door!

 

Not only is this amazingly cool, but also rids the streets of the delivery boys with there little death scooters, or run down old cars. It also means that any nerds that have locked themselves in their rooms for 3 weeks avoiding human contact can further reduce their human contact by receiving there pizza from a flying robot.

 

But seriously this could be really good for reducing congestion in cities, if all takeaway restaurants did this then we would loose allot of cars/scooters whizzing around the city.

 

Edit: I also just thought that this is a better use of drones than what amazon had planned for. Yea Amazon has the money to burn on something like this for themselves, but i seriously think this could be a better way of using drones.

 

These guys also posted a nice video showing the test flight and the general idea;

 

 

The only down side i can see to this, is that we will loose those cheesy film clichés where the hot girl fancies the jock pizza delivery guy. what a horrible loss humanity will have to endure....

I think this would be awesome in my small town. Although there are TONS of rednecks (me included) and there might be an issue with drones being shot down....

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

It doesn't. Precision pizza bombing. It shoots it through a small opening in your window.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Nah, it'll just spawn a new kind of porn.

 

And you won't get a dirty look from a robot when you refuse to tip because you were waiting for an hour and the pizza is cold.

Yay... More drones... Like Amazon's drones and some other drones (the ones that are a bit more 'dangerous'...) weren't enough.

 

What next? Drone mailmen? Drone police officer 'replacements'? Drone garbage men (or whatever you call it in English)?

 

Wonder if there has to be made their own 'traffic lines' or something like that for drones themselves...

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.
