This is a horrible idea. I can imagine some compelling reasons for using drones as an automated delivery mechanism, but this - food delivery, isn't one of them. On the contrary, I think they are particularly bad for food delivery. However, I do harbor a sense of amazement at how competition drives businesses. For Uber to invest in this seemingly stupid idea and openly declare such goals hints at how clearly they realize the importance of keeping on moving over stagnating. Uber being uber has no soft corner in my mind, but I do like seeing things move forward.
