In the skies above Tel Aviv, Israel, drones are carrying sushi and beer.

But as increasing numbers of companies experiment with drone delivery for everything from food to medical supplies, the issue of air traffic control becomes key to its future success.

This flight was made possible by HighLander, a company which specialises in traffic control for autonomous drones.

HighLander chief executive Alon Abelson explains the importance of the company's software.

The international community is keeping a close eye on the developments.

Daniella Partem is leader of the drone initiative at the Israel Innovation Authority.

Israel hopes that it will reclaim its status as a drone powerhouse.

Now, it could be the simple things in life such as the delivery of cold ice cream that are at the cutting edge of technology.

Talya Marder, head of marketing at Golda ice cream, comments.
