Zipline, a leader in drone delivery, and Uber have announced a strategic partnership that aims to scale drone delivery across the U.S. The first deployments will begin later this year, where Uber Eats customers will have the option to receive their orders in minutes via Zipline’s autonomous drone delivery. The companies aim to reach one million drone deliveries per day by the end of 2029. Uber is building the world's most flexible hybrid delivery network, seamlessly integrating couriers, sidewalk robots, and drones to match every delivery with the best mode of transportation. Drones have the potential to transform delivery by cutting delivery times, costs, and emissions compared with traditional methods, making it possible for everything from dinner to daily essentials to arrive at your doorstep in a matter of minutes.
