GLOBAL · 20 SECONDS · 3 HANDOFFS
An entire drone airline. One tiny doorstep.
On September 30, DoorDash announced its own delivery drone with a winch and forthcoming Northern California pilots. The announcement emphasizes the first and last short handoffs.
Drag left or right to move the drone. Let the swinging meal settle fully onto the mat. The rope lowers itself; longer hangs need an earlier, gentler correction.
Up to 300 per landed meal for delivery, centring and gentle contact. All three landed: +100. Maximum 1,000.

The airline made it. Dinner still needed a gentle landing.
Up to 300 per landed meal for delivery, centring and gentle contact. All three landed: +100. Maximum 1,000.
DoorDash’s announcement focuses on a delivery system designed around the handoff at each end. The winch becomes our rule: your drone can stop while dinner keeps swinging. The final few feet get the whole game.
