Mumbai, May 21: It’s a bird…. It’s a plane…. No, it’s a flying pizza.
Doorstep deliveries by drones will have to wait till regulatory guidelines are in place, but a Mumbai pizzeria is practising porting pizza to a patron’s home by a mini-copter-like unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
On May 11, as India readied for the last phase of the national elections, Francesco, a two-year-old boutique pizzeria in the posh Phoenix Mall of Lower Parel, was delivering a pizza to a decoy customer on the 21st-story terrace of a Mumbai highrise a little distance away.
