Is Drone Delivery Finally Ready for Takeoff?

- Tech companies from Google to Amazon have for years promised a future filled with packages falling safely from the sky. A startup called Zipline might be the first to make that future a widespread reality.

So many question were not asked. How is that scalable to millions of packages per day? Does this mean they will need to have millions of drones? What about noise? What are their current numbers? Does this have any hope of being profitable someday? What about turnover time? Infrasctructure needed for each plane etc. This sounds like a pipe dream.
Edit: all was answered watching mark rober's video on zipline. What those guys are doing is absolutely phenomenal.
the platform 2 has been designed to be silent, and hover high above its drop zone. Zipline has an in-depth video about it.
@@andrewvh6809yeah sure, but then you dive into the topic and you realise that area of research is the most mind blowing thing about this company. And the biggest potential hurdle to mass adoption. They seem to have cracked it. And bloomberg just covers it with a small sentence that could as well be nothing more than company PR.
If I answer will you invest a few 100 million?
@@dp622Well, considering that Zipline did an AMA on Reddit 7 months ago, and that the only question they dodged meticulously is the matter of their financial profitability, probably not.
Yeah you need basic income for all (holographic money) and pneumatics are powerful. Centralized distribution and move everything to ai air electric
The FAA should let this available in Alaska yesterday.
pipe dream, can't carry anything heavy enough to make it profitable, bigger drones make it dangerous, not a viable business. Just another tech bros. half baked promise.
Poor people around the world will be delighted by having Zipline deliver everything they order online. Think of all the lives they're going to save!
yea could be really useful to deliver important supplies to remote villages etc.
There's a specific reason why flying aircraft is heavily regulated around the world: it's very dangerous to fly a heavier than air apparatus over cities. smh.
Moving from a high dollar, extremely rural market to a low dollar urban market is hard. How many drone flights would be needed to deliver the packages in a single UPS truck, and how many ups trucks are on the road at one time. How much would you be willing to pay, $10-$50-$100, to get your coffee delivered in the morning? Makes sense when it would take over a day to deliver time critical packages, not when it would take 15 minutes by car.
The market they are in atm is not high-dollar, they apparently keep the cost the same as if a local courier was doing it.(but quicker and more reliably due to poor road conditions)
I can see this working in rural areas, but not cities. We didn't design our cities and towns with drone deliveries or self driving cars in mind.
You need a large backyard or roof access to drop and recover the packages. Maybe they can drop to distribution centers in cities and then use ground transportation to door-deliver. Could still become a same-day delivery.
Duck season may only be a few months but it’s about to be drone season year round.
Tell that to the FAA.
Exactly.

Looks fantastic. Very well done video!
my delivery the key card various mons and i no am the presipitose ber to dronner my like also how the delocket from put retry efective and ingeribles add to the car of buyeds
3:10 Golden billion? You started your company in America not Russia for a reason.
This is so cool!

Guy was playing with her :)
But when and it will only pay if you get approval for urban flights
This is an infomercial.
And you watched it ?
Great video. I still feel like there was a missed opportunity to highlight the success of the Rwandan founder that started it years ago.
exactly. I was waiting for that. The interview crew should have visited rwanda too to provide a backstory on the company, especially from such a place like rwanda, not the most developed country in the world, yet having people who have managed to create a company of such scale.
Scale it all the way lets go
Technically They are landing drones the same way I landed F16 at the Navy
Did you learn English at the Navy?😢
@@rhuttrho88Did you learn rudeness from your parents?
Weight is a huge issue.
I DoorDash - rare are my orders 'light' in weight.
2 drinks and a two orders of Asian/Mexican food and you are at 8-10 pounds easy.
It's still Reynolds number that dictates the lack of efficiency of small aircraft. What works well in Rwanda where you don't have any other way of quick delivery don't work for delivery to households.
Nice CGI delivery.
Im not giving up my flying drones because some corporation wants to reduce employee size.
A total joke
Wow!!
What happens when I try and hold onto the line as the drone retracts the cable?
Amazing. I watched a video about them about 2 years ago and they are doing a great job.
I feel like they would be a great couple.

When these switch from pure electric to gas hybrid vehicles (gasoline engine driving generator that powers the electric motors), it suddenly becomes way more feasible because range and time in the air increases dramatically.
Yes but way less environmentally-friendly
Also what's the point of having a whole petrol generator inside these things, might as well just use hydrogen fuel cells instead rather than have both a big bulky generator that's prone to breaking down and just makes the craft so much heavier

Get your ears normalised then.
I'm a piano technician. Believe me, my ears are far superior to yours. I can hear things you can only dream about. 🦻
Too Fascinating!

I will build drones that work, Personal drones are the key
Using drones for routine package delivery is effectively inventing the square wheel.
How will they serve metropolitan cities where not only golden billion live rather lot more. The idea is unique but has challenges w.r.t scale.
hahahaha completely pivots and avoids the “putting humans out of work” question... even added a nervous giggle laugh
its not going to put humans out of work its just going to be more cost effective and cheaper way to deliever things at a faction of a cost over door dash and amazon which means it lower the cost and reduce the prices much lower then amazon would do it.
