Keller Rinaudo Cliffton on Zipline's Drone Delivery Journey from Blood to Burritos

A few weeks ago, I went out to Zipline’s test facility in Half Moon Bay, California for a dinner and to see their delivery drones in action. I was not expecting much.
It feels like we’ve been promised delivery drones for years and years. And, in fact, we have (youtu.be/-qOBm3Iwlzo?si=tTmGpJyGr0H0BQQj&t=2). These visions of the future don’t always arrive on schedule, but the delivery drones were feeling extra tardy. I also wasn’t even sure if delivery drones made that much sense.
Drones run loud. They could obviously crash into things. It’s hard to imagine a sky full of these aircraft working that well.
During the dinner, though, Zipline pulled off a sneak attack (youtube.com/shorts/HYXFGfQfZOk) maneuver and plopped some cookies down right beside me without me noticing the drone at all.
The technology was quiet and precise, and it made me want to learn more - which is why we’re bringing you Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, the company’s co-founder and CEO, on this latest podcast.
