TechFirst with John Koetsier

Drone delivery is here. Right now. For real. And it's awesome.

Next-day delivery? Same-day delivery? Super-lame. What about 5-minute delivery?

That's Manna from heaven ... or manna from drones. Manna is running autonomous drone delivery right now in Galway, Ireland, and has the licenses in place to take the service across Europe and maybe Canada. This tiny startup is beating Amazon to the immediate delivery punch in Europe.

And the US? That's a problem: regulation is way, way, way behind.

In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier, I chat with Bobby Healy, CEO of Manna, about drone delivery, how it works, what it's accomplishing right now, and how soon you might see it in your backyard. Plus, what drone delivery as a service means for the future of commerce.
