Will food delivery couriers disappear from Hungary due to drone delivery?
Foodora started drone food delivery in Sweden in cooperation with Tele2 and Aerit. This is the first time a company has initiated such a service on the globe. Will that result in sending away all the delivery riders in Hungary because machines will take their place?
According to infostart.hu, the service will be available in Sweden every day, and they will expand the number of partner businesses in the next few months. The service will launch near Stockholm in the Värmdö region, where islands dominate. Foodora aims to provide home delivery even in places which are hard to access.
Drone delivery in Sweden
The logistics director of the Swedish Foodora, Daniel Gustafsson Raba, said accessibility is a question of democracy for them. Péter Garay, the operative director of the Hungarian Foodora, added true innovations were born from need.
Garay added that there are no places in Hungary which are extremely difficult to access. Therefore, their delivery partners will always be indispensable. Technology will always be a helping hand, he highlighted. Garay said it would be great if they automated delivery in large campuses or office buildings. But they will always need people to deliver the products to those campuses and office buildings.

Starters I don’t believe they should be “buzzed in” to our house or “buzzed in but wait downstairs in the lobby.

I won’t “ride a lift” with them, sending them up the stairs if I meet them at the front door or waiting for the lift.
Our lift is (3) person capacity only.
It’s the FOOD stench that sickens me.
Not saying it’s distasteful questionable in quality, but it “lingers” in the lift, that is not a pleasant odour.
Fortunately – the visits by the “Food Bikies” are few and far between, but the other aspect that concerns me is Security that can’t be over-looked, sadly in this day and age.
I have tabled my objection to the practice by either titled holders or those that use (2) two apartments as Rented accommodation – week-ends or short stay, that will be discussed at the up-coming Body Corporate Meeting.
