Drones begin to deliver take-outs in Chengdu

At the Sky Eye drone testing base deep in the mountainous outskirts of Chengdu city of Sichuan province, Tan Xiaoxue used a mobile app to order a cup of coffee. In less than ten minutes, a drone landed steadily on a platform in front of her, opened its cargo box, and delivered the coffee.

According to reports, this logistics drone is operated remotely by the service provider and does not require a professional pilot. The sender only needs to pack the items, complete the inspection, and notify the system, and the drone will take off and follow a predetermined route to deliver the goods.
