Last week on July 29, the company unveiled DoorDash Air, an in-house program that will develop a drone delivery system.\u00a0 The company also announced that it has been granted Part 135 air carrier certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to operate a drone delivery service. It is one of just eight drone operators with the certificate. Drone delivery is slowly growing, especially for \u2018mid-range\u2019 deliveries of 3 to 5 miles that tend to be less appealing to human couriers.
