Uber, Starship Technologies Partner to Launch Autonomous Food Delivery

By Elias Schisgall


Uber is partnering with Starship Technologies to bring autonomous sidewalk robot delivery to Uber Eats.

Uber said Thursday it would use Starship's robots, which are built on artificial-intelligence delivery technology, to complete Uber East delivery orders of up to two miles in under 30 minutes.

The launch will begin in Leeds, UK, in December, with planned expansions into other European markets in 2026 and the U.S. in 2027.

Uber's global head of autonomous, Sarfaz Maredia, said autonomous delivery would be a significant part of the future of Uber Eats. He said combining Uber's scale and Starship's technology would improve the Uber Eats experience for consumers and merchants.

Starship currently has more than 2,700 robots operating across seven countries with more than nine million trips completed, the company said.
