Pizza is cool, and drones are cool, but pizza delivered by drones is really cool! Domino’s Pizza lovers in New Zealand can now enjoy a hot, tasty pizza delivered from the store to their doorstep by a Flirtey DRU drone.
The deliveries were conducted in New Zealand as part of Flirtey and Domino’s Pizza Enterprises ongoing drone delivery testing.
Currently available to select customers, the two companies plan to launch pizza-by-drone deliveries at increasing scale in the near future. The store-to-home flights are made possible by Flirtey’s advanced autonomous technology, complex safety systems, and special packaging that have all been designed to complete deliveries across a variety of weather conditions and flight paths in suburban environments.
“We are moving closer and closer to widespread store-to-door drone delivery,” said Matthew Sweeny, CEO of Flirtey. “To conduct these deliveries in an urban environment while delivering a hot, fresh pizza, is a validation of our delivery system that assures Flirtey is prepared for mass market deliveries around the globe.”
