Before you ask: yes, it's legal. Flytrex keeps drones within line of sight of its technicians and chooses routes that won't have people below. The drone is also an existing model with an established track record.

The service is launching today, with a $3 fee for every order. Whether or not you see that as a reasonable cost, the job is a logical fit for early delivery drones. The machines have the luxury of short flights and relatively safe airspace, and they're overcoming terrain challenges that would slow down ground-based vehicles. Besides, there's a certain allure to having your lunch descend from the skies while you're still on the green.
