Drones were by far the hottest Christmas gift trend in 2014. While giving people personal robots might seem odd, there are more practical uses for personal drones these days. However, some drone owners are using their robotic companions in odd ways that don’t involve recording a simple aerial shot. You’ll never believe the things drones are doing now. Some of them will make you want to stay inside for a bit…
1. Bottle Service
share
Some of the hippest clubs in Las Vegas delivery champagne to you via drone.
2. Proposals
share
Is there a better way to propose to your loved one than having a robot do it for you? Probably, but who cares?
3. Flowers
share
FlowerDeliveryExpress had its own flower delivery service via drones. Eventually, the operation was shut down because, well, because of the drones.
4. Medicine
share
A San Francisco based company known as Quiqui plans to start delivering prescription medications to those in need.
5. Cake
share
The Chinese government shut down a drone cake delivery service before it went mainstream.
6. Sushi
share
Imagine having your fresh sushi delivered to you via a drone. This is the future.
7. Burritos
share
A company called Burrito Bomber has plans to create a drone food delivery service. I hope you like Mexican food!
8. Government Documents
share
In Dubai, the government is trusting drones to carry sensitive government documents to where they need to go. Sounds kind of risky to me.
9. Laundry
share
This would be perfect for the lazy people who don’t want to go to the dry cleaners to pick up their fresh laundry.
10. Grills
share
A company in Atlanta has tested drones for grill delivery, which met with some success.
11. Pizza
share
Now this sounds like the most practical use of a drone. Pizza delivery in Mumbai is about to be taken over by drones.
I used to be scared of drones, but I don’t think I can be anymore if they deliver pizza. Or burritos. Or dry cleaning. Heck, let drones take over. I, for one, welcome our new drone overlords.
