I don't care about the needleless part. The autoinjectors are easy to use and you never see the needle. This is the real win:

> The shelf life of neffy is 30 months and allows for temperature exposure up to 122°F (50°C), making it a potentially effective treatment if left in a car or outside for a length of time. If accidentally frozen, neffy can be thawed and administered. [1]

The need to keep Epi-Pens below 77 degrees F (86F for short periods) is extremely constraining for something that you are supposed to carry with you at all times. Even keeping it in a jeans pocket next to your skin may not be acceptable, technically. If it's hot outside, you can't leave it in your car or even in a bag you're carrying. You're supposed to carry a thermos bottle with you the whole day every day or something? Obviously very few people do that. This is going to be far better for that reason alone. And double the shelf life is very welcome too.
