Long-time readers of this newsletter know that until a drone delivers coffee directly into my hand while I’m walking from the parking lot to my office, I won’t consider the word “convenience” fully achieved. So, I was very excited to see this: “South San Francisco-based Zipline presented its revamped home delivery system pairing the new fixed-wing Platform 2 (P2) drone with the final delivery droid, whose own onboard smart tech and internal propellers allow it to position over and touch down on even the smallest of spaces available at client destinations.”

Thanks as always. Just walked by a “drone cafe” in Tokyo. There’s hope!
Nice video about Zipline by Mark Rober: https://youtu.be/DOWDNBu9DkU
Very interesting approach to warehousing costs breakdown and where and by how much can drones have a positive impact.
