Workhorse delivery drones take off from the top of a stationary Workhorse electric van and make deliveries every hour, on the hour. To complete the simulation, monitors outside of the drone area will broadcast the information available from the delivery van via the Metron application. The screens will also offer the drone perspective via live video from a camera mounted on the drones.
