Kroger says it will begin testing drone delivery this week

Kroger, the country’s largest grocery chain, says it will begin testing drone delivery this week at a store in Ohio.

In a press release on Monday, Kroger said the new feature will allow customers to place orders with their smartphones and have it delivered directly to them “within as little as 15 minutes.”

According to the press release, the drones will track a customer to their smartphone location, meaning that once the grocery chain scales up the program, it will be able to deliver items anywhere within drone travel distance of a store.

“…a customer will be able to order delivery of picnic supplies to a park, sunscreen to the beach, or condiments to a backyard cookout, for instance,” Kroger’s press release read.

Kroger says it will begin testing drone deliveries at a store in Centerville, Ohio this week, a suburb of Dayton.

  1. “According to the press release, the drones will track a customer to their smartphone location”

    If this isn’t just one more reason to toss your smartphone into the nearest lake, then I don’t know what is.

    PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT SMARTPHONES ARE FOOLS!

  2. Sounds pretty useful. Order by phone, pay with your SNAP card and get your lobsters and steak delivered right to your crib without having to put miles on your 22″ rubber and rims. Would be handy if they’ll take the new. print your own Floyd $20 bill once they get the demo underway.

  3. People are voluntarily connecting every aspect of their lives to the WORLD WIDE WEB.

    People are stupid

  4. Drones will be Tracking Your Every Move !!!! Electronics is Made to Control the World & Take it Over !!! FACT
