The Moscow Times reports that a Russian company has perfected the technology to deliver pizzas via drone:
A pizzeria in the Komi republic’s capital city of Syktyvkar has launched a helicopter drone-delivery service.
DoDo Pizza’s first unmanned delivery was made on Saturday to much applause from witnesses in the city’s main square.
According to the regional news agency FlashNord, the drone was able to complete its task in just half an hour, and the pizzeria’s owners plan to make drone deliveries a regular practice…
To date, drone delivery is something that has been discussed in the United States but not implemented on any wide scale. Dominos has talked about the idea of pizza delivery via drone and, of course, there’s the Amazon drone delivery plan that Jeff Bezos talked about on 60 Minutes last year.  Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration has shut down a service that delivered beer to fisherman on the ice in Minnesota, is trying to ban drones used to provide first-person camera views of famous sites and this week issued a ruling that effectively seems to outlaw drone delivery services for the time being.Â
OMG. We have been beaten. First satellite in space, and now this?
Domino’s, where are you? Papa John, are you listening?
Thanks, Vlad.
This is way cool.
Russia, you rock!
The world’s most advanced Socialist State, and what do they do? CAPITALISM!
Delivering pizza by drone.
If it weren’t Flopping Aces, I would think that this is the Onion!
