The future is upon us. Now not only can you order pizza hut pizza using your Xbox 360, you'll soon be able to get dominos pizza delivered to you via flying drones.

Soon the more antisocial among us will be able to order a pizza and get it delivered without any human interaction whatsoever. What a great time to be a fat disgusting slob.

Well, what did you expect them to deliver via drone? Flowers? They've got "pizza" in their name after all.

...

Why is cap asking me my household income? How does it know if I get that wrong?

I see no real issue with this, the less delivery teams we have driving around grants us a few things:

1) Saves money
2) Less pollution
3) No risk of car accidents and potentially harming the driver / safer employees
4) Much, much faster delivery.

You already give them your card info when you order by phone, so there's no risk of them losing money, and should anything happen to the drone you already gave them your name, home address, phone number, and a valid credit card so it won't work out well for you. Only issue I can see is undertrained delivery teams who make a mistake flying the drone by not understanding proper distancing, handling wind, etc.

Very unlikely there will be any collisions as there will most likely only be 1 drone per area total (there is absolutely no reason to get more than one considering the speed of the drone is extreme compared to a car), and the drones don't fly high enough to really be near any planes. The biggest risk, again, is to the drone itself.

...You know, I seriously need to brush up on my own cooking skills, actually. The more convenient delivery food gets the less you notice how damn pricey and often unhealthy it is. And I'm a low-maintenance cheapskate.

Really cool and all, but I think we're all forgetting the most important question...do we have to tip the drone and where would you put the cash?
Calling it now, people skimp on tipping the robot and it causes judgement day.

So you're saying that if this is implemented (which I highly doubt), anybody who uses it to have a pizza delivered is a fat disgusting slob?

No, but fat disgusting slobs will be a part of the population which would use this service and enjoy the greatest benefit from its implementation.

How? You're already calling everyone who orders pizza from Domino's fat disgusting slobs, the method of delivery doesn't change a thing.

You know what? No, I'm not going to argue over or clarify any part of my statements. This thread is not worth the time or effort, and I'll look like a jackass for even making the attempt.

No matter how many awesome things Dominos implements, their pizza will still be complete shite.

Very cool stuff though. Hopefully a decent place will adopt this.

Cool as it is, I can't help but wonder if robots will also start replacing the postal service a decade later....

He might not be. I am.

I say that a mere 2 days after my last home delivered pizza - as a species, Humans need to stop this shit before it kills us all. One night a week, instead of ordering a takeaway, we should all go chase down a Deer or something.

... Fuck it, too much effort, Chinese tonight it is.

What if someone knocks it out of the sky to take someones pizza! Then the customer has to pay the bill for that too. How will you know when it has arrived? How will it perform in bad weather?

Why, oh dear lord why am I asking these questions when I don't like their pizza!?

Because shitty pizza or not. There is potential for free pizza. That's why!

What happens if I order say... 25 pizzas for a party that I'm never going to have? Or I become a falconer? All I want is a little fun and chaos!
