A new perk for the lazy: call up a drone with your phone and have it carry packages across the city in less time than it takes to drive.
While Amazon and Google try to figure out how to use drones to deliver packages, a startup in London is focusing on a different service: running simple errands between two people. Say you're locked out of your apartment and need to get a key from your significant other. Instead of spending an hour on the train or fighting traffic to pick up the key, you can dial up a drone on your smartphone and send it across town.
