Police to seek explanation on use of drone for pizza delivery
Mumbai: The usage of unmanned drone for the first time in India by a city-based pizza shop for delivery here has come under scanner of Mumbai police, which will seek an explanation from the outlet
The unmanned drone successfully delivered a pizza to a customer 1.5 kms away.
Francesco's Pizzeria chief executive Mikhel Rajani yesterday stressed that this was only a test-flight but its results confirm that it can be used routinely in a few years.
A four-rotor drone took off with the order from its outlet in Lower Parel area and delivered it to a high-rise building in adjacent Worli area, Rajani had said, claiming that it was for the first time that the ubiquitous drone was used for such a purpose in the country.
The eatery, which has been in operations for two years, made a video of the delivery, and an auto engineer friend helped with making the flight possible.
