Uber(UBER.US)今年底於美國開始測試無人機送餐
Uber(UBER.US)宣布將與無人機公司Flytrex合作,在美國Uber Eats的試點城市,於今年底前展開無人機送餐測試。雙方並透露,Uber已對Flytrex進行財務投資,以加速技術開發和推廣,但未披露投資金額,僅稱屬非重大投資規模。
美國無人機送餐規模化仍受限制,因美國聯邦航空總署對空域管制嚴格,獲批可進行超視距飛行的企業僅屬少數,當中包括Flytrex。亞馬遜(AMZN.US)雖獲航空總署批准,但其無人機曾在雨中墜毀,無人機送貨計劃屢遭挫折。
Flytrex目前客戶包括Walmart(WMT.US)及Uber的競爭對手DoorDash(DASH.US)。Uber早在2019年已透過旗下的「Uber Elevate」在聖地牙哥試行與麥當勞合作的無人機送餐,但該計劃最終因監管問題受阻。加上疫情期間公司削減高成本項目,該部門最終被出售。
