DoorDash has launched an in-house drone delivery programme after receiving Part 135 air carrier certification from the US Federal Aviation Administration. DoorDash Is Building Its Own AircraftDoorDash Air is being developed by DoorDash Labs, the research and engineering group behind the company’s Dot autonomous delivery vehicle. Existing Drone Partnerships Will ContinueDoorDash said DoorDash Air will operate alongside its existing partnerships rather than immediately replace them. Customers in eligible locations can select drone delivery directly through the DoorDash app. DoorDash’s Autonomous Delivery Platform will decide whether an order should be assigned to a human driver, Dot, a partner-operated drone or a DoorDash Air aircraft.
