IT News on September 30th: The American food delivery platform DoorDash announced that it will launch drone-based food delivery services in northern California. The initial partner restaurants include Chipotle (Chipotle Mexican Grill) and Popeyes (Bob's).

According to the introduction, DoorDash will use lightweight drones to complete food delivery tasks. The drones used for delivery are equipped with 6 propellers, and the noise they produce during flight is similar to that of cars on the road. Ideally, the delivery from the restaurant to the customer's doorstep should take 5 minutes. The company will implement a new delivery management system that takes into account factors such as traffic conditions, weather, and flight time to determine which orders are most suitable for air delivery.

IT has noticed that DoorDash has also announced the launch of a download-free App ordering feature for Apple phone users. Users in the United States can now directly open "Messages" and send ordering requests without needing to use a website or App.
