Summary
Logistics startup Zipline has unveiled its next-generation drone, the P2 Zip, which can carry up to eight pounds of cargo within a ten-mile radius and land on small spaces like tables or doorsteps. The drone can travel ten miles in ten minutes and make deliveries seven times faster than typical services. Zipline aims to make rapid aerial deliveries an everyday convenience for customers in the US, including densely populated urban areas. The company plans to conduct more than 10,000 test flights using about 100 new P2 Zips this year and hopes to operate more flights annually than most commercial airlines by 2025.
