autonomous systems are going to be less expensive, 10 times as fast, plus there's zero emissions.

So these kinds of systems are already cost comparable today.

They'll be significantly less expensive in the future.

I mean, Zipline has been really lucky.

I think that there's a lot... We've been building this company for 12 years, but I think it's finally kind of obvious that robotics is going to remake the planet over the last... I mean, I think it's going to transform a lot of economies.

And...

Logistics is one of the most obvious places where automation and robotics can have a huge impact.

It can improve service, improve reliability, and it's something that people are going to depend on day in and day out.

By the way, it can also create a lot of high-paying jobs in the United States, both on the manufacturing front as well as maintenance.

We're building out these complicated new kinds of infrastructure in each of these cities.

It's the reason that every city has been so excited to have Zipline come.

It's creating high-paying jobs.

We're investing in each of those cities that we're launching.

Well, yeah, Zipline, when we started the company, what we do today was illegal in the United States.

So not an ideal pitch for investors.

But this was the reason that we initially partnered with the government of Rwanda.

Today, Zipline serves 5,000 hospitals and health facilities across the world outside the U.S.

So we're a huge, huge healthcare logistics network.

We've now done 135 million commercial autonomous miles with zero safety incidents.

And the system is saving about 17,000 lives a year, predominantly moms and kids.
