This is the first time the autonomous Zipline Platform 2 (P2) drone has been tested on camera, showing just how efficient the system is, just like the IKEA drones. The system boasts a 10-mile service radius while carrying a 6-8 pound payload for out-and-back deliveries from a single dock.
The P2 can also fly up to 24 miles one way from dock to dock, charging at each one before picking up its next delivery. Since these drones can move from dock to dock, Zipline can dynamically respond to peak order times to ensure that there’s enough delivery capacity for an urgent prescription delivery or a busy Sunday pizza night or weekday lunch rush.

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. 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,” said Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, co-founder and CEO of Zipline.
