At seven months pregnant she walked herself to the hospital in rural Rwanda. Hours later Theonile gave birth and experienced severe post-partum hemorrhaging. Here’s her story.

It is unbelievable to gauge the impact and transformation Zipline brought in the last decade as they started and ramped up drone deliveries in Rwanda. Hearing stories and anecdotes at our all-hands reminded me that you need a hardcore team and mission to change the future. Crazy part: @zipline continues to push the trajectory with the same intensity and incredible team. Excited for this series to roll out: zipline.com/stories-from-the…
Life is short. Skeptics are probably right more often than they are wrong, but they also don't go on epic adventures or get to work on projects that move humanity forward. Ignore the skeptics and build the future!

Best maintenance is no maintenance, but when it’s needed, Ziplines flying themselves for maintenance and network balancing is a very cool feature to maintain uptime
when Ziplines need maintenance, they fly themselves home. Increasingly, they fly home by hopping across our network of charging sites. Today in Houston:

Every second counts when you are hungry :) Now it's quieter and efficient As Ryan said, one of hundreds of improvements made at Zipline and we have so much more coming this year
We just made @zipline drones deliver faster, fly quieter, cooler, and more energy efficient via an over-the-air update. Zipline September Software Update brings Dynamic Flight Trajectories 1/n

Drone delivery is about to be cheaper than cars. But the drone is only 15% of the work to get there. A decade after starting in Rwanda flying blood to one hospital, @zipline has flown 140M+ autonomous miles with zero safety incidents, expanded to the US and to food delivery and household items, and delivery costs have fallen from $300 to $12 - now cheaper than a car. Getting there meant building almost everything from scratch: flight computers, motors, GPS modules, even the air traffic software regulators use to track them. And it meant a discipline most engineers find nearly impossible. That's the reality behind Zipline, the largest autonomous system on Earth. @Keller and @EricWattage joined me and @gradypb to talk more about their journey. 00:00 Introduction 02:28 Early Vision and Regulation 04:09 Rwanda Launch Hard Lessons 06:49 Scaling to 24/7 Impact 09:35 Real World Ops Surprises 11:15 Safety Redundancy Failover 20:24 Precision Delivery Pod Tech 25:34 Building the Drone Network 26:51 Fleet Commanders Explained 28:22 Scaling to a Million a Day 29:51 Autonomy Enables 24 7 Ops 31:52 Reinventing Air Traffic Control 36:08 Why Zipline Is Vertical 41:40 First Principles Delete Parts 44:45 Market Explosion and Closing Thoughts

Take a look at how the skies of Dallas and Houston are being transformed for a teleportation-style experience. @zipline is scaling, and with every delivery we are also helping local businesses and communities provide a safer and more delightful delivery experience for their products.
You've heard of @zipline, but you probably don’t know how close they are to delivering in your neighborhood. On episode 73 of S3: see how the drone company that started by delivering blood in Rwanda is reinventing how anything gets delivered, almost instantly.

On hell of a run! Model S and Model X were not typical vehicles, they ran flagship introduction of many key technologies and still packs a lot of punch. @hrushisagar - please keep the naming of Robots by X-men characters in Fremont Factory alive ;)
The last Model S & the last Model X have been produced at Fremont Factory 14 years of history for Model S, 11 years for Model X 🫡

Late into the night of March 19, Nembe General Hospital in southern Nigeria faced a crisis. A two year old child was in critical condition with severe anemia, and the hospital urgently needed one unit of B+ red blood cells.

It's not enough for Drone delivery to be quick and seamless. Fast and cost effective integration with businesses is what brings the true promise of autonomous drone delivery for customers and communities. Zipline team has dialed in the installation to connect to the Zipline network in less than 3 hours (& we are just getting started) Many small and medium businesses are already taking advantage of @zipline and it's exciting to see the change coming through Dallas and Houston (in pilot)
New kind of mailbox is rapidly rolling out for businesses. Enables teleportation-like delivery to any home. Drone delivery is now universal 🌎
