The only benefit I could think of isn't going to be in the areas that they want to deploy this service.

Like, I could see this being advantageous in lower populated areas that don't really have DoorDash drivers.

But yeah, if you're in a populated area, I don't really get why I would want this over. Just having a traditional driver that arrives.

I guess if the system told me that it was going to be delivered by drone, so therefore I knew not to tip ahead of time? idk
