South Korea tests drone food delivery service

The Ministry of Transport of South Korea announced that during the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing demand for contactless services, South Korea has tested automated food delivery services.

In a test conducted in Sejong City, about 130 kilometers southeast of Seoul, five drones transported food and other products to lakes and homes in high-rise buildings two to three kilometers away within 10 minutes. , The infrastructure and transportation department said in a statement.

"There are some things that need to be improved before mid-to-long-distance delivery services are adopted in urban areas. Governments and companies need to deal with many challenges, such as the delivery of high-rise buildings, maximum payload limits, and weather-related issues," the ministry’s aviation policy leader Zheng Yongzhi said.
