Open Post: Hosted By The Pizza Hut Delivery Drones
The worst part about ordering pizza is the shame. The person who delivers the pizza comes to your door, sees you in your PJs at 3 PM, notes that you’re the only human being in your studio apartment, sees the cat, smells the weed, and hands over your large pepperoni with a side of garlic bread and three dipping sauces with judgment in his eyes. So when I read that Pizza Hut was testing drone delivery in Israel, I excitedly Googled “how to move to Israel during a pandemic.”
Alas, I was misled. Yes, the delicious pizza will be delivered by drones, but only for part of the trip. The droned pies will be dropped into government-approved landing zones (like parking lots), then drivers will deliver them like usual for the final leg of the journey. Sigh.
Uber Eats Has Teamed Up With McDonald’s To Deliver Food Via Drones
Take a good look at that picture and get used to seeing that ominous flying device, because it’s going to be the delivery man you tip at Christmas next year. TechCrunch is reporting that we are inching ever-closer to the end of days through–well, various means–but it seems that Skynet might in fact be a real possibility and will be coming for us after all. Uber announced it will start using drones for deliveries. When these AI programs become sentient (if they aren’t already…) we are all toast.
