Except the FAA won’t allow those anywhere near airports, making it fairly useless for many cities, which would be the primary market for such a device.
Thanks for making this ad so obvious!
If it’s sponsored, I don’t mind. That system for catch and launch is pretty cool… the landing of the packages… doesn’t seem to be so smoth.
How does it know where to drop off in your back yard? In the video, they show it dropping off on a picnic table.
I could see something like “print off this QR code or landing pattern and place it where you want the delivery” working.
I can’t stand this presenter. Specially his voice. He’s like this obnoxious, fake, always upbeat, kids show presenter and it’s really patronising. There’s also something faintly creepy about him. Can’t put my finger on what though.
Can’t wait for the IPO so I can benefit off the pump-and-dump scheme.
Does it also work in rain or snow?
I have done work with this company for a few years. The work they do with medicine delivery in really remote places around the globe is really inspiring.
If it didn’t have such a click baity title I might have watched it
This is freaking amazing. I work with my local blood center and while they are located in a large and developed region, they still have cars all over town just picking up and delivering blood products. It’s a major part of their cost infrastructure. While this won’t really help in the close in areas something like this could be a very big help in rural hospitals.
I loved that this originated in Rawanda. The lead engineer had a super inspiring story.
I’m in favour of technology replacing jobs (particularly ecologically harmful jobs) if it doesn’t lead to the exact entrenched poverty and job instability that makes emergency medical supply delivery necessary in the first place (globalization – poverty – political instability – civil war – humanitarian crisis – medical drone necessity)
Guaranteed income or other social services should be funded through a tax on companies that develop technologies that eliminate jobs. The more estimated jobs removed, the higher taxes (on profits, not on operational costs).
If profit margins are too low to accommodate higher taxes, then taxes should be raised on other profiting companies dependent on this technology to lower their own bottom lines and maximize profits.
So instead of sneakers having from powerlines in my neighborhood.. I get some cool drones.
Abdul has one one of the most incredible stories I’ve heard. Crazy how he can bring so much optimism after such a terrible event
Well I find it very hard to believe it can change everything. Such an omnipotent drone could hardly be called a drone, more a god. He exaggerated away my interest
This is one of things that seems like a great idea when you don’t really think about it.
My very first thought about the low noise rotors was “I wonder if that would be useful in Ukraine?”
Great until people inevitably ruin it by breaking them.
Sounds cool and everything, but do we really want millions of drones per city polluting our skies(visually, audibly) buzzing around delivering cheese burgers and batteries?
I want to know if it can hit the correct balcony on a high-rise.
“Deliver salads to your backyard”
Ok but when will it deliver me a backyard?
The uninitiated don’t realize there is a whole underlying structure and strict regulatory system to aviation and all things airborne. He completely ignores this and attributes the only safety factor to “will they fall on us”.
What about that medevac helicopter with patient and crew heading to a hospital? The airliner on approach to an airport with 200 people on board? Or the general aviation pilot taking his daughter for a flight in a rented Cessna? Anyone want to guess what a 15 pound drone with a 10 cell lithium polymer battery (I made those number up but it’s got to be at least that) would do in a midair collision with one of those aircraft? You can’t just throw autonomous burger delivery drones up there and call it a day.
Using the example of a remote Rwandan airspace =/= proof of concept for urban America.
Edit: I should say I’m not against this idea, it’s cool and whatever. But there is a very well established regulatory system that hasn’t begun to even scratch the surface of figuring out how to integrate wide spread drones within the aviation world. It still can’t even properly deal with hobbiest/enthusiasts and their toys.
Rwanda’s transformation over the past 30 years is amazing.
Whatever you do, don’t ask why they had to do it all in Rwanda instead of the US, or a European country.
We have drone delivery in Ireland, via Manna Drone Delivery. It’s amazing- delivers coffee and within 3 minutes of it getting loaded on the drone.
We got ice cream one time and and other snacks on our second delivery. Heard Mana just got cleared for operations in the US in Texas.
They use bigger models of drones than this, but I’m glad that it’s starting to prove all the nay-sayers wrong about the readability of this.
Abdul is the type of person Elon Musk wants the world to think he is like.
I’ve been less impressed by Mark Rober videos in the past couple years, but this was 10/10.
But what about apartment buildings?
I have heard many positives about Rwanda in the last few yrs: the country seems to be making good progress on overcoming its terrible past and advancing economically. Still has a low per capita gdp but I think internally the country is making strides every yr and is improving in its overall prosperity.
The same people saying this is impossible because of thieves would have said the same about grocery stores… “You’re just gonna put stuff on a shelf and ‘trust’ that people bring them to a cashier?!’
This makes me understand a little bit better why the FAA has chosen to ghettoize hobbyist drone users.
What YouTube channel is this?
literally a ad no thanks bud.
Man zipline PR is really spending a lot of money promoting this
Okay, regarding the plane service, how does it not hit someone in the head?
Those boxes may not be flying at terminal velocity l, but at the very least they have you rubbing your head if it landed on you.
No thanks. 400ft is still way too loud. Sorry but high RPM small fans are just loud. Take a walk through any datacenter.
This is the coolest thing I have seen since idk when, maybe the beginning of the pandemic? Things, the coolest things.
“This “blank” could change everything” is beyond annoying…cut it out!
Way more words needed than it takes to describe the damned drone.
