Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at our next-generation delivery service. Fast, quiet, clean — it’s basically teleportation for food, medicine, and more.
Platform 2 is launching in cities across the United States very soon.
i feel like "private taxi for your burrito" is the best way to describe doordash

How much does an emergency defibrillator weight? Following a 911 call it could bring one (or whatever supplies are needed) to a patient

Here in the NJ/NY/CT tri-state region, almost all the Amazon trucks are now electric, and housing can be high-density. Each truck holds hundreds of packages and the routes are very carefully planned for maximum efficiency. I don't think the math holds up for an area like this. Also, lots of the suburbs here have enough large trees to make this kind of delivery problematic. Not to mention the weather. I think it's a great concept, but maybe limited primarily to medical/military applications.

I wish you the best truly. I know Amazon threw tons of money at the idea of drone delivery and couldn't make it profitable/scaleable enough.

This is an awesome company! I have a family member who works at Zip Line so I have known about this company for many years. This is the future of transportation and goods and, eventually, people.

Can't wait to have a burrito button on my smart watch that delivers a burrito no matter where I am standing outside.

"Just got done waiting 4 days for a set of headphones that doesn't even weigh 2 lbs, packaging included. Can't say I'll miss waiting days for something so simple. Drones will be amazing, especially if they can work in relay to get things across multiple states using transfer stations."

I absolutely love your mission, and also really appreciate how you share your progress with us. The vision of this delivery system is the kind of world I want to live in.

Sensing a problem here:
Does it fit a large pizza?

Anyone else think the droid is as cute as a bumblebee?

I have a similar idea but it works best in high density areas and high rise building staff that can support this delivery service. However, most of the US is not high density and the limited range of a drone reduces this to very few areas. This company would have to spend and R&D like EVTOL company for a vehicle that can switch between hover and horizontal flight to increase range.
Additionally, adverse weather conditions instantly disables this delivery service so virtually any establishment would need traditional delivery always ready.
I think Zipline would have to vertically integrate to make this successful like having their own drink/food/ecommerce business in the middle of a busy city... products will then be cheaper with delivery and arrive quicker than competition.

What happened to the quiet offset propellers featured in the Mark Rober video? Those made quite the impression when people saw that video.

Truly incredible work guys, well done

I am so amazed by how far zipline has gone. You guys are doing amazing things and changing delivery of goods.

Letting that pod thing that comes down have it's own thrusters is genius! With that accuracy, houses could have a small chimney-like thing for receiving deliveries directly, instead of having to leave the packages outside!

This is the awesome future we all want, I'm so glad Zipline exists!

I like it a lot. I would be happy to receive a delivery with Zipline.
