Drone startup Zipline hits 1 million deliveries, looks to restaurants as it continues to grow


The company said its zero-emission drones have now flown more than 70 million autonomous commercial miles across four continents.

The San Francisco-based startup designs, builds and operates autonomous delivery drones, working with clients that range from more than 4,700 hospitals, including the Cleveland Clinic, to major brands such as Walmart and GNC. "The three areas where the incentive really makes the most sense today are health care, quick commerce and food, and those are the three main markets that we focus on," Rinaudo Cliffton said. As the company continues to expand with its drone deliveries, it will bring on Panera Bread in Seattle, Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston, and Jet's Pizza in Detroit.
