DoorDash and Alphabet-owned Wing have brought their drone delivery pilot program to the United States. This expansion builds on the pilot program that the two companies launched in Australia in 2022 and have since expanded to three locations and 60 participating merchants in that country, DoorDash and Wing said in a Thursday (March 21) press release. The U.S. pilot program has been launched in Christiansburg, Virginia, according to the release. It allows select local customers to order eligible items from one Wendy’s location in the city through the DoorDash marketplace and have them delivered via drone

A DoorDash spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment about whether the program will expand to grocery stores, but DoorDash and Wing launched a similar drone program in Queensland, Australia, in 2022, and that program includes grocery delivery.

A New Autonomous EraFor a while now, we have been transitioning from the industrial age of the human-controlled self-propelled machine (tools, boats, cars, and planes) to the self-acting machine (industrial robots, GPS-controlled airplanes or tractors, etc.).However, there were still a lot of limitations on the capacity of machines to act without human supervision. It relied either on a very controlled enthronement like a factory floor or on a very simple set of instructions, like going from point A to point B following a rudimentary path.This was due to a few reasons:Machines cannot see their environment.Machines are big, heavy, and powerful, making them too dangerous to not be controlled by humans out of a very narrow set of situations.Machines cannot think and, therefore, cannot react to unexpected circumstances, hence the need for humans.But all of this is now changing.Machine vision is now advanced enough that detecting obstacles is mostly a solved problem. Humanoid robots, small drones, and farming robots are much less threatening than industrial robots or tractors weighing tons. But more importantly, AI is now giving machines an unprecedented level of intelligence.The Autonomous AI RevolutionIn 2023, people have been shocked by how human-like LLMs (Large Language Model) systems like ChatGPT sound. Similarly, AI art has progressed exponentially.There are already concerns that AIs might make entire professions like writers, teachers, or illustrators entirely obsolete.But it is not only in the world of ideas and concepts that AI thrives. With increased levels of intelligence, AI is now able to navigate the real world of streets, warehouses, and even battlefields.Together with progress in batteries (more autonomy), EVs (no need for combustion engines), and captors (cameras, LIDAR, and other detection methods), the increased computing power and computing efficiency make possible a multitude of concepts for now reserved to the domain of science-fiction:Self-driving cars, as well as self-driving trucks, self-piloting ships, and maybe even planes.Drones deliveries, both on wheels and in the air.Autonomous combat drones.AgTech drones.Etc.(In this article, we will explore the different concepts by order of technological maturity, from the already in deployment to the one still in development)Autonomous LogisticsSelf-Sorting WarehousesThe first step of modern logistics is in giant warehouses, gathering hundreds of thousands of different items, as well as sorting facilities of e-commerce giants and postal services.The job of finding, picking, and moving to the right spot the goods and parcels is increasingly handled entirely by robots

The Autonomous Age: Robotaxis, Drones And Logistics

Snapchat owner Snap is recalling its pocket-sized drone camera Pixy due to safety concerns.The social media company launched the tiny device in April 2022, only to stop making the product months later.On Thursday (Feb. 1) the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of the Pixy — and the lithium battery that powered it — after reports of the batteries overheating, leading to one minor fire and one minor injury.“Consumers should immediately stop using the Pixy Flying Camera, remove the battery and stop charging it,” the CPSC said in the recall notice.Consumers can then go to www.pixy.com to learn how to participate in the recall, get a refund of the purchase price, and dispose of the battery in adherence with local and state regulations.The recall affects 71,000 units, according to the CPSC notice.While the Pixy may be grounded, there has been an increased use of drones in the retail world in the last year.For example, Walmart last August joined forces with the Alphabet-owned on-demand drone delivery provider, Wing, for a last-mile delivery partnership in the Dallas, Texas, metro area.“The retail giant had already taken flight with drone delivery operations across seven states and 36 stores, successfully fulfilling over 10,000 deliveries,” PYMNTS wrote in October. “Through its collaboration with Wing, Walmart is poised to expand its coverage to an additional 60,000 residences. This is being made possible by Wing’s drones, which have the capability to operate beyond the line of sight, offering on-demand delivery services to customers residing within a 6-mile radius of participating Walmart outlets.”Also in October, Amazon Pharmacy began offering customers in College Station, Texas, the option of drone-drop delivery services, letting them get prescription medications brought to their doors within 60 minutes of placing an order.“We’re taught from the first days of medical school that there is a golden window that matters in clinical medicine,” said Dr. Vin Gupta, chief medical officer of Amazon Pharmacy, at the time. “That’s the time between when a patient feels unwell and when they’re able to get treatment
