I dont now how things are west side, but over in Larnaca, the delivery kids or should I call them Kamakazi kids, fly around the roads, jumping lights, weaving in and out of cars, in fact only God knows how they dont end up crashing ,
especially since lock down there has been a massive increase in take out food deliveries, I can see the drones taking off in a big way, they cost less then a scooter, no traffic jams etc, faster delivery time, the only problem I see is, most people order food in the evening, how would that work in the dark?

Drones capable of hoofing a pizza about are not cheap. And don't get me started on licensing issues.

Dominic, business opportunity maybe, you could become the Akis Express of the drone world

Seems a great idea at least in theory! But probably not practical for homes in the built up areas or in the hills around Paphos.

I did think about keeping it hot, and what happens if it rains,

The case which surrounds the Pizza looks to be cardboard, but surely it must be something much more resilient and have excellent thermal qualities for to be used?
I wonder how much such a delivery would cost? Surely delivery boys on scooters are much more economical to run?

At least the drone wont help it self to your food
