Uber Technologies, Inc. and autonomous drone food delivery service Flytrex, Inc. have announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Uber Eats will pilot drone delivery service in U.S. markets by the end of the year. The deal marks Uber’s first investment in drone technology.

According to a statement from Flytrex, “the new service combines Flytrex’s proven autonomous drone delivery system with Uber’s global platform and logistics expertise, creating a fully integrated end-to-end experience designed for speed, safety, and scale.” Drone delivery, Flytrex said, “has the potential to significantly reduce delivery times, lower costs, and cut emissions compared to traditional methods—unlocking a future where everything from dinner to daily essentials arrives in minutes, not hours.”

Commenting on the announcement, Flytrex Chief Executive Noam Bardin said, “The promise of autonomous vehicles is here, redefining logistics on the ground and in the air. Autonomous drones are the future of food delivery—fast, affordable, and hands-free. Flytrex has already delivered over 200,000 meals to suburban households in the past three years. Partnering with Uber—pioneers of ground-based mobility—brings together proven logistics expertise with aerial innovation. Together, we’re building the infrastructure for a future where autonomous systems seamlessly move goods through our communities, making faster, safer, and more sustainable delivery the new standard.”
