An Appetite for Drones???


Hungry? There's  a new app for your smart phone that allows you to have your tacos flown directly to your location. The Huffington Post says Tacocopter  will deliver your tacos via an unmanned helicopter by merely pushing an icon on your mobil phone.
Indeed, the concept behind Tacocopter is very simple, and very American: You order tacos on your smartphone and also beam in your GPS location information. Your order -- and your location -- are transmitted to an unmanned drone helicopter (grounded, near the kitchen where the tacos are made), and the tacocopter is then sent out with your food to find you and deliver your tacos to wherever you're standing.
You pay online, so the tacos are simply dropped off at your feet by the drone helicopter, which then flies back to the restaurant to pick up its next order.
I wonder how they will do with pizza?
