Dream will not change soon in the form of drone food Delivery
Zomato told that the drone was tested on a remote site a week ago. Co-site is approved from DGCA. According to the Food Delivery Company, such tests are done only on the remote site, which are prepared for such testing. Jemeto founder and CEO Dipendra Goyal said that we are working on developing sustainable and secure delivery technology. We have successfully tested this technique first. He said it will not be a dream but will soon change in reality.
According to Zomato, food is delivered on an average 30.5 minutes by bike. But now the company is working on the plan to use the drone for delivery in a short time. Many companies around the world are working on drone based delivery. Earlier, e-commerce company Amazon has also announced to deliver the product through the drone.
