‘A Lot Like Uber’: UPS To Test Drones For Deliveries In Africa - AFK Insider


United Parcel Service, the world’s largest package delivery company, has partnered with two other companies to test drones for delivering blood transfusions and vaccines in remote parts of Rwanda.

If all goes well, ordering drone delivery could work a lot like ordering an Uber, one of the partners said.

Through its UPS Foundation, UPS has committed $800,000 to the project with Zipline, a California robotics company; and Gavi, a Switzerland-based group that works to bring vaccines to children in poor countries, CourierJournal reported.

I think it's great that the company is doing something to help poverty stricken children and adults in remote areas.

$800,000.00 is not a lot to invest for this outreach IMO. Not for this company.

But, .32 ov X 50,000 drivers after 8.0 hrs of work =s almost -$800,000.00 for the day.

Adds up quickly.
Not that bogus #s matter.
