INTERMODAL
Reasons to partner with kyte

Servicing areas with no roads

Intermodal handoffs can increase the range of delivery networks into areas with limited infrastructure (e.g., waterway-dense or rural areas).

Flying over traffic
AVs will still need to deal with growing congestion in our major cities. Drones can help fly over high-congestion zones, decreasing delivery times.

Unblocking stalled deliveries
Last-minute road closures or vehicle malfunction can halt deliveries. An intermodal handoff can unblock the stalled deliveries.

Extending service areas
Sidewalk robots have difficulty with high-grade areas and have limited range. Drones can help increase access to more customers and merchants.

Flying over high-vandalism zones
Vandalization is a risk for certain areas. Intermodal handoffs to drones can help fly over high-risk zones and connect multiple service areas.

Door-to-door within complexes
Handoffs to and from sidewalk robots tailored for apartment complexes (or other large buildings) can enable door-to-door deliveries.

Servicing areas with no roads
Intermodal handoffs can increase the range of delivery networks into areas with limited infrastructure (e.g., waterway-dense or rural areas).

Better for one-offs
Clustered drop-offs reduce delivery time and costs for scooter/bike couriers, but one-offs are less cost effective. Drones can help lower costs.
