20 Examples of Drone Innovations

From Drone Delivery Services to Agricultural Drones

Drone technology continues to improve and slowly takes strides toward widespread adoption, with many drone innovations providing new applications for the technology. One of the prominent drone innovations could be in delivery programs, as it would allow those shipping to save on delivery costs. Uber Eats has launched a drone delivery test program in San Diego. In the test program, drones will deliver food from a restaurant to customers, which makes the process more efficient.

Another use of drone technology is in the agriculture industry. The 'See Tree' drone can be implemented to present information to farmers. The drone can be used to create intelligence networks for trees in an area and pass that information along to farmers.

Lastly, drones could see adoption in the aviation industry. Boeing has had a passenger-carrying drone complete a test flight -- showing promise for the future of autonomous passenger aircrafts.
