Uber Eats rolls out courier returns for online retail orders

Uber Eats unveiled a new return-pickup service that lets customers have eligible online orders bought via the app picked up by a courier for a fee, with refunds issued at pickup. Retailers include Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods and Petco, and items must cost at least $20. Customers can still self-serve returns to avoid the courier fee. The move extends Uber's growing delivery business into returns and aims to ease the stress of returning online purchases.

Zipline's P2 Zip drone and cute 'droid' sidekick revolutionize autonomous delivery.

Zipline's next-generation drone, the P2 Zip, consists of two autonomous vehicles that work together to deliver packages up to 8 pounds. The drone can complete a 10-mile flight in about 10 minutes and is nearly silent in flight. It can fly up to 24 miles one way and has a charging station that looks like something from science fiction. Zipline plans to conduct more than 10,000 test flights before allowing customers to use the drone next year.
