We deliver everything 2 times faster and 27 times cheaper, thanks to small autonomous delivery-robots
OneSec is not just a "drone delivery startup"
OneSec is a professional Aerospace company. OneSec has developed an autonomous aircraft for food delivery, and is getting it certified with the European aerospace certification authorities (EASA).
The reason "drone delivery startups" have not been able to get off the ground is because they are not professional Aerospace companies. And therefore the regulators don't want them in their airspace.

On December 17th 2020, the European Union explicitly legalized autonomous air delivery
For some reason, the media and the startup ecosystem completely missed this announcement. But on December 17th 2020, the European Union, and by extension many countries in Asia/pacific passed a framework that explicitly legalizes autonomous air delivery drones, as long as they get their drone certified in a very specific, well defined 12 month program.
(see link to official EU announcement)
The FAA in the US is now one of the few countries in the world that still doesn't allow autonomous deliveries, and for some reason, most startups are still banging their head against the wall with the FAA, not realizing that most other countries have legalized it.
By the way, the reason for this difference, at the most basic level, is because in the United States, Helicopters and other Airplanes are allowed to fly as low as they want. So delivery drones are illegal in the US, because they could crash into a helicopter or other airplane. In Europe however, helicopters and other planes are not allowed to fly below 1000 feet over cities. This rule has been in place for decades, and has nothing to do with drones. But it means that drone delivery is allowed, because there is virtually no risk of crashing into a helicopter or airplane. It just took the European Union a few years to prepare the framework, but they finally published it on December 17th 2020.

OneSec is building a $100 billion company
Because virtually nobody else is exploiting this EU framework, and because we have the only product that can do autonomous balcony delivery, OneSec is well positioned to take over the European Food delivery market. And as soon as the FAA legalizes drone flight beyond visual line of sight, we’ll be there too.
PS: 80% of the world’s urban population doesn’t have access to a backyard, you also need to solve balcony delivery in order to serve them.
Balcony delivery is much harder to do than the backyard deliveries that drone delivery startups are trying to do.
We have solved this problem, and we own the patent on the very concept of balcony delivery.
PPS: No, Amazon is not competing with us, their delivery drone is built for Amazon's core business, large packages from centralized fulfillment centers. We do restaurant to consumer, which requires a completely different aircraft type.

Our TechWe are building fully autonomous, noiseless, highly reliable delivery drones.
Our drone is considered by many people to be the most advanced aircraft ever designed. It has the gliding efficiency of some airline jets, but also has all the abilities of a helicopter. We have designed, built and tested more than 300 variants of our aircraft in a wind tunnel to optimize for aerodynamic efficiency and stability. The noise frequency of the propellers is below the human hearing threshold, making it virtually silent. It weighs only 800 grams, has 200 kilometers of range, and more sensors and compute power than any consumer drone. It was built with a safety standard that exceeds the safety of many large manned aircraft, using fully redundant components, a first in the drone industry. On the software side, we have developed the worlds largest depth estimation dataset, and we are pushing AI and machine learning technologies to the next level. This AI makes it possible for us to safely deploy a fleet of drones in any given city around the world, where they will be able to navigate fully autonomously and collision free to their destination. We use highly robust control systems and path planning algorithms, and combine them with the most cutting edge machine learning techniques for computer vision and perception. |
