I haven't done the math but my guess would be the maintenance costs would be pretty high over time and as energy costs drop, drones could be feasible.

- Klinky 6y agoThe reality is that food delivery already has high costs for vehicle maintenance and the person doing the delivery often bears that burden themselves, as well as being typically underpaid or in danger of wage insecurity, along with lack of benefits. Those are hidden/socialized costs of our current food service and delivery infrastructure. Engineering a robot that may not be economically desirable when the current system lets you offload a significant cost of human labor.
