We have heard about robot food deliveries too. But it might not be very long until your next food order on Door Dash might be delivered by drone.

Would You Want Your Dinner Delivered by Drone?

It’s interesting to think that our favorite meal from our favorite restaurants might soon have the capability to be delivered to our front door in just a matter of minutes. It’s amazing technology, although I do worry about food delivery as I have 2 dogs that would love to get to the drone delivery before I do.
