DAVID GREENE, HOST:
Good morning. I'm David Greene. You ever called to have a pizza delivered and it takes forever - driver gets there with a cold pizza, says there was traffic? Well, so much for that excuse. Domino's just tested a drone in New Zealand that delivers pizzas. I saw a photo - drones in the air, pizza box dangling below. But don't expect this service soon.
