He said: “The rise of artificial intelligence, along with autonomous delivery and other sophisticated technologies, provides ample opportunity for businesses such as MedExpress to trial a range of convenient customer service options.”
He added: “We were very pleased with how the trial went. We’re considering making drone delivery part of our future service and are in talks to work out how we can do this.
