Uber will deliver "flying burgers" via a drone as early as 2021

Uber Technologies is looking to accelerate its "flying burgers" initiative faster than expected.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the San Francisco-based San Francisco-based company has an ambitious timetable for setting up its delivery drone project as early as next year.

On Sunday, Uber was looking for an operations manager able to help him carry out his ambitious plan.

The list, which was removed by Uber following the review's report, was looking for a manager who "allows safe, legal, efficient and scalable flight operations". .

An Uber spokesperson did not immediately respond to FOX Business's request for comment on the report, but told the Journal that the display "did not fully reflect [its] program, which is still in its infancy. "

However, Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, admitted in May that he was optimistic in this regard and that he believed this was the solution to solve the problem of urban mobility.

"It's my personal belief that solving the problem of urban mobility is driving hamburgers in any city," Khosrowshahi said at the Uber Elevate summit in May. "We need flying burgers – everyone needs it.

Khosrowshahi then explained that Uber-assisted food deliveries would be able to deliver food within five minutes, instead of couriers, which can take up to 30 minutes. The company is currently testing its program in San Diego.

Many believe that Uber is cautious about revealing his story beyond the rumor because he is considering a possible IPO next year. As the report had previously indicated, several Wall Street banks have recently proposed to give it a value of up to $ 120 billion.

Moreover, Uber is not the only one to deliver drones. In 2013, the head of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, said that it could potentially roll out drones of delivery within four or five years, but the Department of Transportation's testing program United States, which Uber is currently involved in, has snubbed him.

And Google's Alphabet has been working on his drone project since 2012, but he has encountered many technical difficulties throughout years.

In 2016, the company expelled two managers who directed his drone initiative.
