Can a drone save my life?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Zipline CEO Keller Rinaudo talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode about his company's use of unmanned drone aircraft to deliver blood and medical supplies to hard-to-reach places. Rinaudo says drones are a viable life-saving option when roads are poor or nonexistent, and stresses that it's not selfless philanthropy; Zipline is a business that's making money while doing good. He also talks about why dealing with regulators in the third world is easier than it is in the U.S., how local residents feel about the presence of unmanned aerial vehicles in their airspace and why he's excited for drones that can carry humans.
