Walmart, Zipline Launch 30-Minute Drone Delivery in Texas

Walmart has officially launched drone delivery operations in Mesquite, Texas, in partnership with Zipline, allowing residents within a two-mile radius to receive over 65,000 products in 30 minutes or less. This initiative follows a successful Early Access Program and is part of Walmart's efforts to provide faster and more convenient shopping solutions. Zipline's P2 Zip drones, capable of carrying up to eight pounds, are designed for precision delivery and have already proven effective in various regions, including international markets. Both companies envision this service as a transformative step in retail logistics, with plans for expansion throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond. As drone delivery technology evolves, experts note the potential impact on traditional delivery jobs, though many believe this innovation is here to stay. Zipline has already completed over 1.5 million deliveries and aims to continue its growth trajectory in the U.S. market.
