DoorDash Gets FAA Approval for In-House Drone Delivery

Published by Webster

DoorDash is taking its delivery business into the skies after securing FAA approval to operate its own commercial drone service. The company’s new initiative, DoorDash Air, makes DoorDash the eighth US drone operator to receive Part 135 air-carrier certification, according to Business Insider. DoorDash plans to develop a custom aircraft and the supporting systems required to manage deliveries from merchant handoff to customer drop-off. For now, the company will continue working with existing partners such as Wing and Flytrex, meaning the announcement expands DoorDash’s drone strategy rather than replacing its current partnerships, while also giving the company better control. FAA approval comes with operating limits The FAA approval clears the way for DoorDash to begin serving customers’ orders by air, with deliveries expected to launch in fall 2026, according to a DoorDash spokesperson cited by Business Insider. The certification allows DoorDash to operate its own commercial drone-delivery program, DoorDash Air.

The recent move by Janhvi Kapoor from Karan Johar-led Dharma Cornerstone Artist Agency (DCAA) to Collective Artist Network has once again put the spotlight on the growing trend of actors frequently changing talent management agencies. Actors like Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra have also moved on from long-standing associations, including YRF’s talent division, showing how fluid the business of representation has become in recent years. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, filmmaker Karan Johar gave his take on why today’s actors are more inclined to switch teams. “The way I look at it is that I believe that social media, technology, and the constant noise around us make us very restless, very anxious, nervous. So we are dealing with an anxiety-ridden, anxious generation who want the validation of stardom very fast, and I don’t blame them because they are judged on a daily basis. When we started off in movies, none of us were the recipients of these kinds of judgment. The daily judgment that exists and surrounds this generation is exhausting and affects your …

Suleyman added that the model “really excels at” generating images of food and nature scenes, as well as artsy lighting and photorealistic detail. Microsoft has previously posted more details on its blog: “MAI-Image-1 excels at generating photorealistic imagery, like lighting (e.g., bounce light, reflections), landscapes, and much more.
