Uber adds Zipline drones to its Eats delivery network

Uber is partnering with Zipline to integrate autonomous drone deliveries into the Uber Eats network across the United States. Starting later this year, the collaboration aims to achieve 1 million daily drone deliveries by 2029. As part of this strategic tie-up, Uber is making an undisclosed investment in the California-based Zipline, which has operated drone deliveries in Texas since 2025. This move marks a significant pivot for Zipline from its previous focus on hospital drops.
