I get it, but Zipline actually knows what they are talking about. I would imagine that they have more successful drone deliveries completed than all other operators combined.

> We're building on top of the tens of millions of miles we've already flown - half a million fully autonomous commercial deliveries over the last 7 years in 8 countries

But it's this exact argument I expect to see a video and not CGI

I would think that this is due to the need to raise money for the final product?

I have been an R/C hobbyist for years and what they have managed to do in Africa seems pretty darn neat. Not just the aircraft, but the operations.

What issues do see with their new design?
