Nothing makes me feel more inspired than seeing this every morning I walk into the office. Every cartoon icon is an autonomous aircraft making a critical delivery somewhere in the world.

Today, Chipotle announced autonomous burrito delivery. They are calling it “Zipotle”. As someone who spent years living off burrito bowls, I can’t believe I can now get Chipotle delivered by a robot in less than 10 minutes. Chipotle

A new kind of mailbox is born. Now any building can get access to drone delivery in 3 hours, no permitting or construction required. Often partners load through a window in the wall, so they never have to step outside at all

The Bitter Lesson of Robotics: It's extremely easy to make a video of a robot doing something once under perfect conditions then post it to X. But it often takes a decade to harden systems and design for all the insane edge cases of the real world. Many companies raising $$$$ on cool demos, but all the hard work comes after

We design the autonomy algorithm of the pod to be "shy". We love excited kids, but pods prefer to have a little bit of space 😎

Today we’re making one of the biggest announcements in Zipline’s history. We have signed a $150m contract with the US State Dept that will come with $400m of co-commitments from our African partner govts. This will expand life saving autonomous delivery to 130m people in Africa

Take a tour of Zipline’s maintenance hub for autonomous aircraft in Dallas. This hub will service thousands of aircraft by end of the year, and we’re replicating it in Houston and Phoenix this month 📈

Whoa, Zipline just made the first beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight using onboard perception in US history. We were told a few days ago by a respected reporter they thought this wouldn’t happen for ten years and it happened two days later 😅

3 Zipline aircraft have now flown more than 1 million kilometers (621K+ miles) each. This is dramatically more than the average car and the equivalent of 25 trips around Earth. Blows my mind.

Making autonomous vehicles that work in the real world is hard and unfancy. We're flying 700+ flights a day, 24/7 at our test sites and we don't slow down when weather gets gnarly. Multiple surprising and hard to predict discoveries from this kind of weather testing...
