Getting what people need, where they need it, as quickly, sustainably and equitably as possible will require transforming the way that goods currently move.
That’s why Zipline is using autonomy and robotics to create a new form of delivery system designed to be fast, clean, and equitable - instant logistics to help cover the last mile, no matter where that mile may be.
The small, autonomous electric vehicles, “Zips,” are capable of delivering medical supplies - crucial to providing lifesaving treatment - and the vast majority of orders which move through current ecommerce systems.
“A lot of people look at what Zipline does and assume it’s total science fiction, and it’s a decade away,” says Keller Rinaudo, Zipline co-founder and CEO. But that future is already here, the tangible proof in the millions of products already in people’s hands.

What would you like to see this technology used for?
Remote area medical delivery seems the most important and it's working, this is already a vital service! it just needs to spread, so many lives could be saved ❤
Everything but mass consumerism.
Disaster affected areas, remote locations, especially hilly areas- Medical use, education, clothes
Delivery.
while we send medicines around the country we spray and spread the decease while flying. so you can order more! and when you complain we send them with bombs in them!
Honestly wish I could fund this with a billion dollars, I lost my younger brother to slow delivery of urgent blood he needed kudos to you guys, can't wait for this to get bigger
💐
I designed something like this back in 2011 to deliver insulin to people in remote locations.
@@theGreaterAwareness wow that’s impressive man
Sorry for your loss Brother
Take care
then why not a dollar ?
“the closest thing to teleportation” comes straight from a marketing department. I can tell, because it so OBVIOUSLY isn't.
BS department indeed 🤣
Well, it is the closest thing, because it is the fastest way to transport blood to remote locations.
I love everything about this, the idea that implementation. My only hope is that they don't sell out to Amazon for the money.
Were that to happen I'm relatively optimistic that Amazon would make good use of the technology. That being said it would suck for even more monopolization to happen
Jea, they should only rent their fleet out to amazon
Amazon has billions for r & d and access to the best engineers on earth, if they're interested they probably would just make their own.
@@JPxKillz hm true that. Such Buggers
@@JPxKillz by r&d I'm sure you mean acquiring companies that have already figured out the hard stuff. Amazon and Google rarely come out with something original they usually acquire other companies typically smaller ones and fold them into their business. If Amazon were going to do it they would have done it already. They keep talking about drone package delivery but I have not seen anything of the sort, particularly since there's a lot of nosy regulatory bodies which hampers innovation.
I remember reading about this technology back in it's earlier days, its wild to see how it's matured. I found it to be such a need to fill a specific lack in the supply chain, and after watching this i can only see it fulfilling more and more roles as it continues to grow
The coolest part of Zipline to me is that it's a long term constant operation and not just a pilot program. Awesome technological Idea need to be pushed to this level to prove their true worth.
I mean they found the nitch that truly needed improvement ie rural access to health care.
autonomous ?
@@KRYMauL You mean niche?
@@arandombard1197 I thought that was a different word.
This is great system for responding to emergencies. Especially in conflict areas where large aid shipments are often seized by military forces. Its much quicker, cheaper and more precise.
Military conflict areas use GPS interdiction to block or 'skews signals...
@@egillis214 That's why some kind of inertial navigation system should be developed for UAVs. Being dependent on satellites is the biggest issue with all these things. If you interfere them with something - all their electronics becomes useless. They should be completely autonomous like a bird flying only by using natural compass and vision. Right now all these things are too expensive and fragile.
It was when the gentleman at the end mentioned how people used to write a letter, to be carried off then delivered and sent back is what brought this into perspective in my mind. Huge potential here, but with it, huge concerns and risk. We are truly stepping into a new era faster and faster.
Speed and Politics by Paolo Virillio. One day we'll learn our lesson.
Package delivery like the hunger games
Except when it actually happens,
People will defend the corporations running the arenas, because those children's guardians clicked yes on the user agreement.
That's impressive range. They can get to anyone in a nearly 50 mile radius. I'd imaging that a network of launch sites like this could even automatically relay packages over longer distances.
Really interesting idea! "Gondor calls for medical supplies"
so they said planet at the beginning and actually it only cover 50 miles radius...?
they could probably fly 100 miles to a different depot as well
@@busetgadapet With expansion and multiple sites it could be possible.
it did not say that it only had a 50 mile radius. it said that most americans live within 50 miles of a walmart. the range is actually much more than 50 miles.
Sounds good in principle. Hoping the long-termed large-scale implications are positive. I'm thinking many dozen of these drones in the air disrupting bird routes and behaviour, also disturbing our view of the skies and landscapes. What happens to the parachute material? Is it non-plastic? What incentive is there for the customer to properly dispose or return the packaging and parachute? Lots of questions to be answered. Remains to be seen what becomes of it.
considering this has been a thing for at least 4 years...I think it's perfectly fine.
Was thinking somewhere along the lines of scaling up as well. How can they deal with increased demand if each drone can only carry so little space, especially if they tap into the commercial delivery industry. Excited to see how they will solve problems like these!
This is designed much better than any of the solutions I've seen using quadcopter drones. I'd bet on this design for the future.
Different usages.
This plane design is to transport light and small products. It's operation area are the sub-orbs or "out in the woods". It has no use in cities. It could maybe be modified to work in cities to drop off the packages at some distribution center, but I doubt it'd be economical at all.
The quadcopters were designed to transport general goods, that may have some weight (but probably a pretty strict weight limit). This one was meant to deliver directly to customers in populated zones... I have no clue what they were thinking, because they cannot deliver to an apartment.
Quads do not have the distance compared to fixed wing, on the other hand quads have more lifting vertical power and can be useful for shorter trips with heavier loads.
Helicopters have tooooo low efficiency compared to planes.
@@himanshusingh5214 Planes can't hover....
@@theecstatic9686 that’s not what he meant. Plane efficiency comes from the fact that it doesn’t use battery power to maintain lift, while quads do. So distance is greatly reduced with quads because most of its power is used to stay in the air.
After looking at thumbnail, for a second I thought it was "Sippline" 😂😂 ( Shark tank India )
Design a bigger drone that delivers more than a package at a time and delivers within a route. That will be be more effective and sustainable.
These guys are the first at scale company and focus on medical devices. Each new technology needs to be used for a novel reason before it becomes mundane. It’s either that or you make the product for rich people, but I think rich people can wait for medicine or are able to get to a hospital quickly.
Amazing stuff, but I can see some issues to the validity of this system, the weather will impact delivery for example, are those drone able to deliver while it's raining or snowing or windy, and launching products from the air will also introduce issues, what if the chute doesn't open? The crash will destroy your package if it's fragile and a package coming from the sky is a bit too visible which will help thieves to spot those packages making them more vulnerable to theft, and again if it's windy and the there's no way to regulate my package decent beside the chute then it can land very far away. I mean I like the idea but more clarifications on how it works would be better to help people trust your system
the system can operate in inclement weather and the planes have multiple redundancies built into them, including the plane immediately deploying a parachute if something drastic goes wrong. They've flown over a million flights by now and have still yet to report an incident involving an injury. Give them credit honestly, they've really made this work where they can.
If u were to explain this concept to somebody it would sound crazy, but cudoz to u guys for making it a reality and transforming the logistics for the world.
Well it's like those drones that Obama used to bomb childrens hospitals on Christmas, but instead of murdering innocent children in the middle east, it gives you a buttplug with a parachute! : )

As a critical care nurse this brought a tear to my eye knowing people are now going to have the access to healthcare they deserve. To the designers and implementers you’re doing the work of the century. May god bless you all and Godspeed.
You can tell the passion in their product based on how they explained it
Best way for drug delivery. Where is Pablo. He would fund this in a heart beat
How does it perform under difficult weather conditions? Can it be used during strong winds or will it mess up deliveries?
What if I someone goes package hunting? Hahah
Good question
It says in the video they have tools and technologies to monitor weather conditions. Obviously, they are not going to launch if weather is bad
@@Zuluknob By prematurely releasing delivery (a.k.a shitting itself).
How does it perform under dense areas?
"we are also going to make sure this is a regulated industry so that only zipline can provide this critical infrastructure"
A sinister sentence
Great Zipline commercial!
this is what happen when u hire people from so called big B schools. Only showoffs and scams.
I’m from Ghana. And one thing people should know is, this is still in use. It really fast and safe. Its not a technology of 10 years time, it’s active and safe. I hope we will use this to deliver products for online businesses soon.
What else is really commonly delivered, other than medical supplies?
I'd not seen the zipline drones in action so this was a fresh insight and perspective, and it's great to see the whole pipeline behind that.
I've been watching zipline for a while. Very awesome company doing amazing things in tech that will probably be in widespread use for everything in the future, but right now they're making a massive impact where it's sorely needed the most - remote healthcare. Brilliant stuff.
" - drops the package and leaves"
Perfect for wine glasses
The biggest hurdle will be dealing with FAA regulations I also think liability issues for accidents (which will happen) and also keeping items from inaccurate deliveries/theft . I like what I see but don't see it happening in congested areas in the U.S.
I think airspace under 400 feet and 5 miles from an airport is open. At least for r.c. planes it's about that.
You'll have Walmart crews with cherry picker lifts getting people's cat food and adult diapers out of trees and tangled in powerlines
@@cheeseballs3825 Good for rural areas not urban .
@@ghost2coast296 ha ha
Yes had same doubt. How will they deliver product to someone living in a apartment which don't have any backyard or so like the ones in NY. Also in extremely crowded cities. But this is still a potentially very brilliant idea for health care sector atleast.
This company isn't going last. Drone delivery is illegal in usa and this is a usa company located in California founded by 2 European people in Africa.
Great idea. What is being done to mitigate the packaging waste issue? It's already bad enough in cities since the rise of Amazon and e-commerce, but at least here we have "developed" waste disposal, dump sites and some recycling. In less developed countries, it would be great if they learned from our mistakes and built in the logistics of packaging waste reclamation and recycling from the beginning rather than a half-hearted afterthought.
Cardboard can be composted, but the packing tape has to be removed. So if they make a packing tape that is biodegradable, you could compost packaging completely. Plastics have to separated out of course.
the chute would be the main problem I think
@@deadzone6357 It is made out of paper/cardboard.
Lol this is better then FedEx spiking my fragile package onto my doorstep
Love this... But how does the drop work on something like a somewhat congested environment?
With enough money it can but it probably won't because of bullshit regulations and the first accident will be covered to death by the media which might make the public sceptical about it.
I love to see cool and innovative technology that also helps people!!!!
Great technology
there still is the problem of waste
the parachute and packaging especially
The parachute is paper based. Dunno about packaging but wouldn’t be surprised if it was paper too.
😳Lawsuites will be flying endlessly when these things breakdown and fall out of the sky. Dont want to imagine what happen to the things they fall on or crash into.😖
not to mention the theft
They have redunancy systems and as a last resort an inbuilt parachute. They are also constructed out of materials that break apart if they fall onto something, like a helmet so most of the energy goes into breaking apart and does not get transferred into the object that has been hit.
Thank you for supporting these initiatives and creating this content! This channel is wonderful.
So glad you liked it, thanks so much!
@@freethink while they are made to deliver packages they will be use to deliver bombs
I love this: for providing medicine to communities who struggle with traditional distribution.
I hate this: for western countries who want more junk, delivered more quickly.
😳 a hint of jealousy in your text 😅 being a Westerner has its rural areas. Most of America's population is living in rural communities . Cities in America are more vast than other countries. Everything is bigger in America. We could use the zip for medical supplies, too.
Ah yes, because westerners dont deserve quick access to medication or supplies.
i would definetly make a startup like this in my country inspried by this delivery system. Hopefully it can help to reduce cost and delivery time
Do it for villages only at first good luck
This whole concept is amazing! It would absolutely change our everyday lives... And I'm sure this technology is just the beginning of something way bigger! Bravo👏
I wonder how they ensure that the package falls on a safe and accessible location. I mean it would suck if it dropped over a safe place but was blown mid fall into a tree
Or the roof. I doubt they can 100% guarantee it, but in some areas idea is viable anyway. The only question is the delivery price.
also wind making your package land in your neighbors yard lol but i feel like they are more focused on getting medical supplies to hospitals so the hospital can carve out an acre or two for land sites lol
@@throlyhd9448 that's true that's where itd fit the most.... tho I find it funny making staff look for a tiny package amidst a large plot of land 😂 "first one to find it gets a raise!"
Route mapping and target programming along with weather programming will almost guarantee a good drop but I'm sure there have been a few bad drops.
I second you. And still so many challenges in a larger city.
America: where walmart can teleport medicine to you, but you dont have healthcare
I like new ideas that address to solve several issues (access to food and medication). I do love their concept of taking off and landing. But some things don't make entirely sense to me;
- How do you make sure the boxes land at the right place and in the right hands?
- Is the parachute, wrapping and box completely biodegradable? It doesn't make sense to litter rural areas, who already have a weak infrastructure. Or, how to do close the circle by recycling the material (which needs infrastructure to be transported back).
- Why addressing a problem, like weak infrastructure, from a business perspective, whilst the problem is caused by weak government (low funding and/or corruption) who fail to develop rural areas? The soon a business, or a section in a business, isn't profitable, then those regions won't be serviced anymore and all the good intentions will be forgotten
- How do you make sure that those vehicles don't make noise? I can't imagine living in a world with constant white noise of delivery drones and planes
Again why FLYING drones will not work for this and why we haven't seen this in actual use...#HellYeahFPV
Rain : we will see about your effectiveness! Hahaha
I have watched Zipline for a while wondering when they would step into broader logistics instead of just medical delivery. It is nice to see them talking about standard deliveries as well, even if they haven't already added them. I also have always thought that a photogrammetry unit would be an awesome addition to services. Large range, long flight time, automated flight... a good multispectral imaging unit would make for a great agricultural tool.
I would not want these to grow into consumer products though. I hate that we are growing more and more comfortable and lazy to go out to our local shops and get stuff in person. I agree with this being used in remote areas but can't see this working in dense urban areas for delivering diapers for example.
This is indeed a step forward to make future more sustainable especially for people living in a country where supply is scare or out of reach. This can also solve problems in countries with high traffic issues as people only roaming around to get a thing or two can just sit and order things at their home and hence pollution can be controlled. A very good initiative. We Indians also need to have such tech ASAP.
I love that this system is being used for health care. Well done for concentrating on a use that is probably not the biggest money maker.
What are you taking about ? Health care is an enormous, if not one of the largest industries in the world. Accounting for 18% of the GDP in the U.S alone!
@@mdevidograndpacificlumbera1539 Its mostly used in Rwanda
This is a company I could get behind. God bless you guys.
Love the "simplicity" and execution of this tech!
Almost a gracefulness about the whole cycle (launched in the air without fuel; flies peacefully to delivery; caught back to starting point like a sky acrobat).
@@stupifyingstupedity2112 without fuel? I'm sure it has battery though. Caught* not catched.
Just a gram please ;) " leave in backyard" 😂😂
I like this idea. For once a drone hasn't taken centre stage!!
Yup! The focus is usually on the gadget, but making new scenarios work end to end safely and reliably is in some ways the more impressive thing.
The team was very creative, they worked hard and made their drone very efficient, adaptive, flexible and REALLY SOMETHING YOU CAN SAY USE IN REAL LIFE AND IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
What is your understanding of what a drone is? For me this vehicle is still a drone but not a multicopter.
@@xxxy912 well yeah I'm fed up of seeing those multi-copters. It's refreshing seeing bog standard
Ah so your telling me my life long career of being a cargo pilot, is gonna be replaced with this. "good to know"
I came to this after watching a preview of a comedy movie and my brain had a hard time believing this was real for a few moments. Definitely looks real. Drones that don't have to hover are far more efficient than the VTOL drones everyone is used to. This is really clever.
This is awesome. I'm a blood bike controller and rider (soon...observed rides take forever to get booked in!) in the UK. It's all voluntary but centralised blood banks have needs to transport urgent samples all the time. We (in a small area of the south of England) respond to around 10 calls a night. A paid for logistics provider deals with the daytimes services. This included blood products, urgent samples and breast milk. All of these could be transported like this - epic design.... seems a little infrastructure heavy as an alternative solution BUT we all need these initiatives to find traction early to ensure their further development.
As someone who is living quite far from any hospitals. This could be really amazing to also deliver antipoison when someone is stung by n scorpion or has a snake bite. The closest hospital is about an hour and a half away. Even epipens in medical emergencies! Great idea!
This is a good idea in theory. However, there are to many big issues to overcome. One noise pollution. Two, FAA. Three, protection for birds. Four, equipment for everyone to aquire for accepting deliveries.
Equipment for accepting deliveries? It literally drops packages what are you talking about
Cmon...noise pollution in the outbck of Africa ? And that few birds ? Nah
@@HarrisonMartinson how does that work in Manhatten?
@@jichaelmorgan3796 I think this kind of technology is more suited for rural areas that has a harder time to get the right kind of equipment. Obviously crowded placed like manhattan wouldn't be very ideal but fortunately they do have lots of goods and supply. But if they intend to do it through manhattan that would be another challenge!
@@HideOnMada hmmm maybe some kind of big drop baskets on top of buildings with a sorting mechanism?lol. But yeah in it's current state it seems like a great way to bring the outskirts closer to the rest of the world, kinda like satellite internet.
i can see drunken zipline skeet shooting. send one up this way and you wont find it again lol.

This will make millions of lives worse. It's a waste of energy on a planet already starving for it. It's time to stop whit the faster bigger more more more.
hell yea, air drop my ammunition. Thank you for your service.
this is expensive and time consuming. I only see this as a niche use, like the way they are currently using them, however frequent wind and storms can leave people desiring a more reliable delivery.
I am curious to know the legality and risk of having tens of planes flying overhead.
Not to mention its high risk of losing highly valuable products.
This is incredible!

I admire the tech behind zipline but I am not convinced about useability. Its great for nature calamity situation or economically backward areas, rest i am not sure.
why not?????? what do you disagree with usability on???
@@markBalentine123567 how will you adopt it to deliver in crowded cities? For example to individual appartments? I agree this could be amazing for special cases like military or areas struck with natural calamities, in short where infrastructure is bad. For everyday deliveries drones might be better suited.
@@supriyam6896 even normal delivery drones are problematic, thats why amazon hasnt had success yet. They have the same issues as self-driving cars, there are too many variables that could go wrong and can cause real damage such as, hitting a building, a car, or even people. For urban areas with a dense population the risk is too high
@@ahmedo7875 Atleast drones don't airdrop the package. They have relatively more precision.
Zipline has been successfully working in Ghana already for several years. There´s countries, where the implementation could me more difficult, but for most other countries, it should be even easier...
I love this idea and I have a few questions:
1. How do you prevent poachers from taking down your packages?
2. How do you fly in residential areas as these are demarcated as no fly zones due to privacy?
3. Will land vehicle delivery workers be provided jobs in this market to replace their old jobs that will be replaced with this market (if this market is aiming to replace land vehicle delivery)?
Have a button at HQ that allows for detention... When poachers collect them... Blow up the poachers... They'll eventually stop
Do the packages have parachutes? Or are they protected well enough to not get damaged? From what height so they drop the packages?
From what we can see on the video they are pretty well protected, but they are also small products, small enough that they won't hit the earth too hard and break when delivered. There's also what seems like a parachute-like device installed on some of the packages
Great questions! They do have parachutes. They're paper-based and you can get a closer look here: spectrum.ieee.org/in-the-air-with-ziplines-medical-delivery-drones . In terms of drop heights, they fly at a height of 80-120 metres (260-390 ft) and descends to a height below 100 feet to drop the package. The exact height varies based on coordination with local air safety regulators.
The Parachute does quite a good job at slowing decent rate. Combined with conventional packaging protection it will land safely with no damage. Parachute Landing is way softer than being dead dropped 5 feet.
Great idea until people realize that all they gotta do is shoot down ur drone and steal your product.
There are so many things wrong with this idea, I don't even know where to start.

OMG. More trash generated for a relatively small delivery. Yay!
Why more trash?
@@millanferende6723 Well, there's the protection materials used to protect the drop. And then there's the parachute.
I mean this is the same problem as the food prep kits people subscribed to. If you go out to get the grocery, there wouldn't be the need for all the packaging involved, e.g. a bag just to hold a few carrot strips.
I do get that not many places are accessible but at the same time they need to address creating garbage as an issue.
@@TheMightyAgency So you want people to die just so they do not create _biodegradable_ trash? The packaging and parachute are made out of paper/cardboard.

This is huge for the medical industry. Time can be life or death. Love this!
Eventually it can serve us for other less important needs later. Hope this goes mainstream and they don't sell out.
This video made me cry. The success this program has enjoyed in Rwanda ive seen elsewhere. Kudos. Mankind will destroy the tech if it puts people out of work.. this seems safe... few peeved off uber eat drivers. Drone licensing will be a thing eventually with trackers to make mischief drones easier to detect.
It could replace the post office in many ways. Especially rural routes.
So that’s what Adam Levine has been up to 🧐
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Adam levine's backup career
It's like a robotic swan delivering babies.
How does the drop system ensures the package not land on top of a roof, or stuck on top of a tree branch, or get lost in a thick bush?
It will never be largely implemented. Its not financially practical so if it happens at all it will be a money laundering scheme.
@@miker9082 can you please explain how you get that assumption I'm very curious.
@@digitalestatecapital i did. Re read if you must.
By dropping it in a preselected area as large as two parking spaces. The drone also calculates locally based on wind direction and strength to drop the package in the predefined space. So a grass field next to a hospital is perfect for that.
@@miker9082 We can't, because you deleted your comment.

I can't imagine looking at the sky seeing all those mini planes flying around everywhere, and what about birds? Also, there is a lot of energy going on into delivering a kilo or so, which falling from the air in case of malfunction could be fatal. The idea sounds good but I believe that in the real world wouldn't be hat convenient
You’re simultaneously overthinking it and misunderstanding it’s use.

@@lionkefentse Yes I have.
@@goofsaddggkle7351 Perhaps. Only time will say.
Don't make it fall. Just like airplane. Or if it fall, let it be fatal if it happens like 1 in a million times. Or you could have a fail-safe mechanism.
❤️10/10❤️ from start to finish from product to delivery system. 👌
I like the idea for rural but I absolutely detest it for urban areas. I say this for two reasons, one being noise pollution the other being sky/eye pollution. I live over by universal studios in Orlando fl and there are already tons of planes and helicopters that fly over my house and someone that flies an ultralight most evenings. The decibel level at which flying vehicles operate is just too loud and disruptive for me to be comfortable wanting more of this. The idea that I would look up into the sky and want to see lots of drones is not good. I want to see blue skies, birds, and butterflies flying around. Sure I get emergency medical situations but I don't want delivery drones in the sky. There are more ideas out there for faster urban shipping on the ground for those who want and or need that so keep looking.
The last sentence may be key. We're seeing a proliferation of rapid and even robotic delivery services for urban areas. So it may be that this technology is not ideally suited for them, or that it plays a more niche role (like emergency supply delivery to hospitals). We don't currently use just one technology for package delivery now, but a combination of trucks, airplanes, ships, local couriers, etc--so the future could involve a variety of different technologies too, whether they are different from our current ones or not.
Wait until sky pirates come along with homemade emp weapons and start hijacking these things.
I just cant see how this will work in urban areas and cities.
They could be brought down rather easy, and also it would be an eye sore seeing those things flying around.
Then there will be a different technology developed for urban areas and this technology will still be used for rurual and isolated communities.
They had me at the first half...
I actually thought it could do delivery services from one country to another...like fly from the North America to Asia or somethin' 😅🤣😂
I want to deliver a coffee from your drone. but it can't
Now people will just use some net and catch those packages! 🤣
“Dang it, my meds landed on the roof again!”
It’s all good till it’s a windy 🌬 day and blows your package to another location that you can’t track. Amazons drones are a way better idea because they land to drop off the package 📦
