A bakery in Shanghai cannot use drones to deliver its products to the customers

Authorities have banned a Shanghai bakery from offering delivery services using remote-controlled aircraft due to public safety concerns, reports the website of the Hong Kong-based Ta Kung Pao.

The bakery, Incake, came up with the interesting idea of delivering their products to customers by using remote-controlled planes which weigh 10 kilograms and are 1.1 meters wide. They can carry a box and are equipped with two cameras.

The company said they have three of the aircraft and the service is a fast and environmentally friendly way to transport cakes to their customers.

Local aviation authorities expressed concerns however that the service could be dangerous. They said Incake needs their approval if they want to show how light their cakes are by flying them around town.  (Szerencsi Ágnes, MTI)
