    I don’t give Chipotle permission to surveil and maintain photographs of my personal property.

      Take out their drones with a skeet gun, then. Be the change you want to see in the world.

        I got a 12 gauge Mossberg 500 and a case of birdshot.

          Is birdshot food-safe? It’s gotta be, right?

            Im new to guns and still learning, but as far as i know, birdshot refers to the size of projectile inside of the shell that gets fired from the shotgun. You basically have 3 main types of ammo, birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. There are many options within each including lead free and for burd hunting I’ve heard you can get shells loaded with salt pellets.

    If you thought Chipotle was known for its salmonella outbreaks before, just wait until a wrap spends 30 minutes floating through hot summer air before getting eaten. Hope they have more than just thin insulation on whatever bag they use.

    Why do Chipotle think they can make this work when Amazon’s efforts have so far failed pretty spectacularly?

      Because zipline is the one doing it, not chipotle, and it’s their entire business model and they’re doing a great job and are already fully profitable in the third world.

      plus they’ve learned a lot from amazons failings.

        Fair enough, I’ll accept that as a reasonable answer.

    After flying to the customer’s destination, the Zip will hover about 300 feet in the air before lowering to the ground. Zips automatically avoid obstacles and gently place the delivery at the guest’s address.

    This doesn’t sound like it would work in areas with above ground power lines.

      There aren’t a lot of power lines at 300 feet.

        I’m talking about the tethered delivery system used by the drone to lower the package.

        I’d be worried about the “lowering to the ground” part, and avoiding the lines from the pole to the house.
