Uber to Soon Begin Delivering Food With Drones Bloomberg Businessweek says that trials will start in <br />San Diego this summer. Bloomberg adds that the drones will first deliver food to "safety zones," not people's houses. From there, Uber employees <br />take the packages to <br />the customer. Uber is expected to team up with McDonald's for <br />the trial run. San Diego residents will need to pay up to $8.50 <br />for drone delivery. In only seven minutes, Uber says the drones <br />can travel one and a half miles. Eric Allison, who is in charge of <br />aerial assignments, says Uber Eats' <br />success has driven the drone project. Eric Allison, via Bloomberg
