Uber has revealed more details with regards to its plans of Eats delivery via drones. If all goes to plan, the company will be able to start flying its first drone model before this year ends.
Uber’s design, which it unveiled at the Forbes 30 under 30 Summit today, is made to carry up to one meal for two people. Featuring rotating wings with six rotors, the vehicle can vertically take-off and land, and travel a maximum of eight minutes, including loading and unloading. The total flight range is 18 miles, with a round trip delivery range of 12 miles.
As Uber stated previously, their plan is not to use the drones for full delivery. Rather, they plan to use the drones for partial delivery.
Once a customer orders food, the restaurant will prepare the meal and then load it onto a drone. That drone will then take off, fly and land at a pre-determined drop-off location.
An Uber Eats delivery driver will then complete the last mile to deliver the food to the customer.
