You can now purchase medication or food and Zipline will bring it to your house or business, right to your door if you have enough room in your yard for the drone to land.
This comes after Zipline, a logistics company, launched a new home delivery experience.
The new self-driving platform for residential deliveries is intended to be quick, quiet, and precise.
Unlike previous drone delivery services, Zipline’s new drones fly more than 300 feet above the ground and are nearly inaudible.
They can transport up to seven times faster than standard automobile delivery, doing 10-mile deliveries in roughly 10 minutes and carrying a weight of 6-8 pounds with a service radius of 10 miles.

Zipline’s Platform 2 (P2), which debuted on March 15, 2023, will be utilized in the healthcare and restaurant industries to accelerate diagnostics and distribute prescriptions and medical equipment throughout MultiCare’s network of facilities, which includes hospitals, laboratories, and physicians’ offices.
Michigan Medicine plans to use Zipline’s new service to more than treble the amount of prescriptions filled through its in-house pharmacy each year.
Zipline has spent years developing and fine-tuning Platform 2 (P2), its next generation technology, to offer an ideal client experience at scale.
The first P2 customer deployment will occur soon after high-volume flight tests comprising over 10,000 test flights employing around 100 aircraft.
Zipline promises to conduct around 1 million deliveries by the end of 2023 and to fly more flights per year than most airlines by 2025.
“The future of delivery is faster, more sustainable and creates broader access, all of which provides improved value for our customers,” said Jonathan Neman, Co-Founder and CEO of Sweetgreen.
“Over the last decade, global demand for instant delivery has skyrocketed, but the technology we’re using to deliver is 100 years old. We’re still using the same 3,000-pound, gas combustion vehicles, driven by humans, to make billions of deliveries that usually weigh less than 5 pounds. It’s slow, it’s expensive, and it’s terrible for the planet,” said Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, co-founder and CEO of Zipline on Wednesday.
“Our new service is changing that and will finally make deliveries work for you and around your schedule. We have built the closest thing to teleportation ever created – a smooth, ultrafast, convenient, and truly magical autonomous logistics system that serves all people equally, wherever they are.”
