DoorDash wins FAA approval to launch drone delivery
DoorDash received FAA approval to begin delivering orders by drone and unveiled its own drone delivery service, according to reports. The company is building the operation in-house rather than relying solely on partners; coverage described it as a move to expand faster, lower-cost delivery, without full detail on where or when the service launches.
Why it matters
