Australians are about to get their burritos air-dropped via drone
In 2016, Google subsidiary Project Wing successfully completed a set of Chipotle drone deliveries to the public in an open field at Virginia Tech University. Now, the program is collaborating with Australia-based Mexican chain Guzman y Gomez to deliver burritos in rural communities the same exact way.
Select customers in southern Australia can place orders on their smartphones through the Project Wing app. The company will then dispatch their drones to pick up the food from Guzman y Gomez, and then deliver the products to testers at their homes. But unlike in Project Wing’s last experiment, these aerial vehicles will have to have to dodge trees, sheds, fences, and power lines to arrive safely in residents’ yards.
For those of us who still have to order out the old-fashioned way, here are the 50 best burritos in America.
