Drones are a new way to deliver things quickly. You can order food, drinks or other items, and a drone will fly them right to your door. You don’t have to leave your home and drive through traffic to get something. Drones are smart. They use GPS to fly. Drones also use cameras to avoid people, cars and other things. Using drones to deliver things is a smart idea, especially when you need something fast.

Find It

How does the drone find its way?

Conversation A

(in the coffee shop)

Emily:   Ken, look! What’s that flying outside the window?

Ken:     It’s a drone. It may be delivering food to someone.

Emily:   Really? That’s very convenient.

Ken:     Yeah. People can order food. Then a drone quickly flies it right to their door.

Emily:    So if I order hot food, it will still be warm when it arrives?

Ken:     That’s right. The food can go right there—no trouble with traffic.

Conversation B

Emily:   How does the drone find its way?

Ken:     It uses GPS and a map from the phone’s order.

Emily:    It doesn’t run into things?

Ken:     No. The drones have cameras to avoid people, cars and other things.

Emily:   Maybe I’ll order something for a drone to deliver.

Ken:     You should! A drone could deliver your morning coffee.

Emily:  And it will arrive nice and hot!
