it had to happen sooner or later...

Alphabet and Chipotle Are Bringing Burrito Delivery Drones to Campus

 

In what’s sure to be a college student’s dream come true, drones will soon be delivering burritos on the campus of Virginia Tech.

The experimental service, to begin this month and last just a few weeks, is a test by Project Wing, a unit of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and the Blacksburg, Virginia, university have agreed to participate.

"It’s the first time that we’re actually out there delivering stuff to people who want that stuff,” said Dave Vos, who heads Project Wing.

Project Wingwill use self-guided hybrids that can fly like a plane or hover like a helicopter. They will make deliveries from a Chipotle food truck to assess the accuracy of navigation systems and how people respond.

The devices will hover overhead and lower the Chipotle edibles with a winch.

Part of the experiment will be to see how well the packaging protects the chow and keeps it warm. Food was selected as the demonstration cargo because it’s a challenge. The company is already at work on a more sophisticated second version of the aircraft that won’t be used in the tests, Vos said.

Before widespread deliveries can occur, companies will have to convince the FAA that drones can avoid each other and safely navigate to drop spots using robotic technology. The agency on Aug. 29 instituted broad new regulations for commercial drones. While companies hope the rules will clear the way for drone deliveries, they didn’t permit such flights initially.

the comments were funny and also discussed how to get more burrito for nothing. Amateurs, mostly. I have them hold most of the rice and put on about 4 cups of salsa.

When Chipotle mails free burrito coupons, my husband and I shamelessly check the mailbox recycling around our apartment for discards. Today's search went pretty well.

You hang out back and follow the delivery truck to the party.Then you scarf on the burrito,fill your cooler with beer and leave.

 
Ah, right! I'd basically whack that thing into quarters-sized portions and pace myself. Share with 9 other people? 9 other fasting vegetarians, maybe.
