How drones are shaking up business by delivering food and medicine faster and cheaper

In this episode of Yahoo Finance series NEXT, Yahoo Finance reporter Akiko Fujita visits San Francisco startup Zipline to get a first-hand look at how delivery services are being automated with drones. The vision of drone delivery has been around for years, with Amazon (AMZN) being one of the first to launch its drone delivery program “Prime Air” in 2013. What has kept the industry from scaling up to widespread use? Regulation. In the race to deliver at new heights, the FAA has granted Zipline a rare exception to fly drones beyond the visual line of sight. With commercial drone deliveries projected to exceed 1 million by the end of 2023, Zipline plans to lead the way introducing drone technology to as many as 15 cities in the US across healthcare, restaurants, and retail by 2025. Zipline expects to reach these goals with the company’s Platform 2 aircraft - a drone designed to seamlessly integrate into business operations while delivering with precision. From heights up to 330 feet, the drone drops a "droid" with packaged goods weighing up to eight pounds anywhere from your doorstep to sidewalk in a matter of minutes.Drone delivery could be introducing a new accessibility to delivery services with retailers lining up to utilize the technology. Sweetgreen (SG), Pagliacci Pizza, and Mendocino Farms are early restaurant adopters. Zipline has also lined up a slew of clients in the health and wellness space, including GNC, Michigan Medicine, Intermountain Health, and MultiCare Health System. As more companies adopt the technology, delivery on wheels may be a thing of the past.

    Possibly; a good bit will depend on how remote and the carrying capacity. Not usre how many remote locations need 4 boxes of donuts.

    쿠팡 물류센터보면 주문들어오면 기계가 다 담아주고 사람이 확인만하고 거의 기계가 다하잖아. 그런 시스템하고 드론배달하고 연결되고, 자동화되어서 바로 드론에 담아서 쏘면 정말 빨리 배달이될꺼아니야. 30분 1시간 안에 배달되는 일이 일상이되면,다 그쪽으로 시키지 않을까?

    Why haven't fast food industries capitalized on Drone Deliveries and AI Robot Chefs to reduce costs and lower prices?

    특히 미국이나 캐나다 호주처럼 땅이 넓은 나라일수록, 차타고 마트 가거나 하는 시간이 오래걸리잖아. 그런곳에서 특히 잘될수밖에 없다. 결국 대중화될것이고 이 산업도 엄청 커질것이 분명하다. 드론 성능도 계속 좋아지고, 점점 이용자도 많아지기 때문에 안하는 업체 대형마트일수록 오히려 경쟁에서 밀리지 않을까? 소비자일수록 편한것을 선호하지. 그런 서비스가 있는것을 좋아하기때문에 어쩔수가 없어. 드론배달 안하면 경쟁에서 밀릴꺼라 생각해. 무조건 해야해.

    자기가 돈을 잘벌어. 월급이 400만 500만원 받는사람이야. 그럼 그사람이 옷입고 외출해서 차를타던지, 버스를 다던지, 걸어가던지, 마트가서 물건사고 계산하고 다시 집으로 돌아오는 시간이 몇십분은 걸리지. 그럼 자기 움직이는 시간 계산해서, 자기가 돈을 못벌면 직접 자기가 사러가겠지? 그런데 월급을 잘 벌어. 자기가 움직이는 시간보다 드론 배달, 사람 배달 시키는 비용이 훨씬 싸. 그럼 배달을 많이 쓰겠지. 그러니까 부자일수록, 배달 이용건수가 높겠지. 왜냐면 자기가 움직이는것보다 훨씬 싸니까.

    1) Delivery drivers need to get paid too and they have larger vehicles that are often delivering one package at a time. Automated drones doing the same thing are basically guaranteed to be cheaper than that. 2) You don't own the sky over your home so if you try to knock it down you'll be liable for it's repair and will likely end up in jail.

    집에서 옷입고 외출준비하고, 차 타고, 마트가서 물건사서, 계산하고 차에 담고, 다시 집에오는 시간, 기름값, 노동을 다한것하고 = 드론 배달시키는 비용하고 드론 비용이 더 싸거나 하면 무조건하지. 이거는 자기 시급이 높을수록 배달을 많이쓰는거지. 시급이 낮은사람들 월급 낮고 연봉낮은 사람들은 배달시키는것보다 직접하겠지? 그리고 연봉 높고 월급 높은사람들은 배달을 많이 시키겠지. 안그래? 그리고 보편화 될수록 드론 배달 비용은 싸지겠지. 가격은 수요량이 많을수록 우하향할꺼고, 연봉 월급 시급이 높은 사람일수록 드론 배달 사용량은 우상향하겠지? 그래프로 그려보면? 자기 시급하고, 배달비용하고 계산해서 쓰겠지.
