Uber Eats and Flytrex to test drone food deliveries in U.S.
Uber Eats announced a partnership with Israeli drone-delivery company Flytrex to begin rolling out U.S. test markets by the end of 2025. The deal — Uber’s first investment into drone technology — will leverage Flytrex’s FAA‑certified beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight (BVLOS) drones (which have logged more than 200,000 deliveries) and will likely start in areas such as Texas and North Carolina, with the companies emphasizing faster, lower‑emission deliveries.
