Delivering essentials to the suburbs via drone
Our delivery service is the first of its kind to bring on-demand drone delivery convenience to the suburbs. While urban dwellers can choose from a myriad of affordable on-demand delivery options, those living in the suburbs have been left with expensive and inconvenient choices until now. People often associate drones with cameras which raises privacy concerns. However, we deeply care about preserving your privacy, which means our drones carry no cameras whatsoever. Our system navigates using GPS and sensors only. Our drones include extensive features to ensure safety. This includes hardware redundancies on multiple layers: motors, navigation, an autonomous parachute and a flight termination system. We've successfully conducted thousands of flights and are committed to the highest general aviation maintenance standards. In addition, our system uses the unique landscape of suburbs to plan safe routes that avoid flight over people.
