DoorDash Launches In‑House Drone Delivery Program
DoorDash, a food‑delivery company, started using drones to deliver food.
They built a new program called DoorDash Air after getting permission from the FAA.
The drones will work with the company’s robots and human drivers.
DoorDash Labs, the company’s robotics team, made the drones.
They plan to add the drone option to the app, but they haven’t said when it will be available.
DoorDash will still use other drone companies like Wing and Flytrex while they grow their own fleet.
DoorDash launched its in‑house drone delivery program, DoorDash Air, after FAA certification.
The program was developed by DoorDash Labs, the company’s robotics and autonomy unit.
DoorDash plans to integrate the drone service into its delivery app in the future.
The company is building its own aircraft and drone infrastructure, but no deployment timeline has been announced.
DoorDash will continue working with existing drone partners Wing and Flytrex.
