DETROIT – Imagine a drone flying important papers or packages from roof top to roof top in a dense urban setting like Detroit. Imagine no more.
Bedrock Detroit demonstrated is drone delivery system during a press briefing in September. The idea is moving cargo in the last mile of delivery using drones starting from a rooftop — straight to you.
Kevin Mull from Bedrock joined Matt Roush and Mike Brennan on MITech TV to provide all the details.
“We think that there’s tremendous opportunity for advanced air mobility here … and we’re part of a large ecosystem of companies and agencies working to promote that capability,” he said. “Here at the Detroit Smart Parking Lab, we’ve been operating for about four years looking at ground-based mobility innovation.”
Regulation talk and questions are swirling about aerial mobility, especially with airspace rights that may have to be acquired to move in such a dense space like a city. Mull said those discussions have begun, but it is early.
“Or maybe, someone in one of hotels or maybe have one of the retailers take it from the ground to the roof, and then take it out to delivery to a customer in a neighborhood.”
About 875,000 drones were used to deliver packages all across the world in 2022, so this is the future.
