Pizza Delivered By Drone

Pizza Delivered By Drone

A pizzeria in Mumbai claims to have successfully delivered a pizza by drone to a skyscraper this month. A video on YouTube shows the pizza being made, boxed up and attached to a remote-controlled drone called a “quadcopter”. The drone flies out of the restaurant and across a stretch of the city before landing on a rooftop for an awaiting customer. The pizza company believes that drone deliveries will become an environmentally-friendly way to make deliveries in India’s traffic-filled cities. Police and security are concerned, however, and are investigating the company. All aerial vehicles in India require security clearance, and unmanned vehicles of any kind are considered a serious security risk. Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, has also been testing the idea of using drones for deliveries. Amazon hopes to have a similar service available within five years.

1. Police officers are investigating this pizza delivery because it did not have security clearance to be in the air. Unmanned vehicles in India are considered a serious security risk.
2. The report mentions YouTube because the pizza company published a video of the delivery to its YouTube account.
3. Amazon’s goal is to offer delivery by drone in the next five years.
