DoorDash has partnered with a drone service to deliver food orders from two Dallas-Fort Worth malls.
Why it matters: Commercial drone deliveries are booming in the region, as Alphabet-owned Wing has worked with Walmart with the goal of reaching millions of North Texas households.
Now the drone delivery service is expanding beyond groceries.
The latest: Wing launched a pilot program for DoorDash deliveries Wednesday from Hulen Mall in Fort Worth and Stonebriar Centre in Frisco.
The company says it can make deliveries in 15 minutes.
How it works: People at eligible addresses can order from more than 50 merchants on DoorDash and choose drone delivery.
During the introductory period, customers who choose the drone option will not be charged a delivery fee.
The drones can travel up to 65mph about 150 feet in the air.
State of play: The Federal Aviation Administration cleared the way in August for multiple operators to fly commercial drones in the same Dallas-area airspace without a person observing them.
The drone flights don't go above 400 feet altitude, keeping them clear of other aircraft.
How to order: Check your address here to see if you're in range.
