If you're tired of apathetic teenagers taking too long to deliver your pizza, Russia has the solution: pizza drones.
One restaurant, DoDo Pizza in Syktyvkarsk, has launched the country's first helicopter-drone pizza delivery service. The drones have built-in GPS systems and cameras, so the restaurant's managers can track the drones' journeys.
All customers have to do is order their pizza online or over the phone and wait for it to be dropped off. Once the drone is above the customer's house, the manager calls the customer to go outside, and the pizza is lowered down with a cable.
