Matternet.
I had not heard of them. Such a cool idea taking off (literally) here:

Drone logistics platform developer Matternet today unveiled the new and improved Matternet Station, which the company describes as an “aviation-grade” evolution of its existing autonomous systems. It lets flight directors sitting in a remote control center monitor traffic and operations before takeoff, enabling customers like hospital systems to fulfill delivery requests in a fraction of the time.
The Station — which measures around 10 feet tall — is integrated with Matternet’s autonomous M2 Drone and Cloud Platform and provides a dashboard from which flight directors can send and receive packages. Each Station comes with its own automated aerial deconfliction system that manages nearby drone routes, and they’re equipped with technology that guides Matternet’s M2 Drone to precision landing on the platform. After landing, the Station locks the drone in place and automatically swaps its battery and payload. When the drone is not in use, it’s parked in a hangar on top of the Station.
