Uber will (once again) test delivering food by drone this year

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 22:00:17

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly. The partnership, the companies said, will enable Uber Eats customers to receive order

DJI's new mini drone is a powerhouse with an upgraded camera, but I have two concerns

DJI Mini 5 Pro ZDNET's key takeaways The DJI Mini 5 Pro is available in the UK and EU at £689/€799 respectively. Its camera has a one-inch sensor for superior shooting in low-light conditions, and the drone is packed with obstacle avoidance sensors. It's not yet available in the US, and its battery life at a theoretical runtime of 21 minutes is a lot lower than its predecessor.

DJI’s New Light-as-Hell Drone Has the Best Camera You Can’t Buy

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-20 22:38:57

The U.S. government has effectively halted shipments of any of China-based drone maker DJI’s products to the States. If you’re already annoyed you can’t buy the latest, greatest drones, you’ll be much more than miffed to learn DJI finally showed off details of its Mini 5 Pro, which will have an all-new large CMOS sensor strapped to an upgraded gimbal, plus LIDAR sensing for better obstacle avoidance. Good luck trying to get it in the U.S. since you can’t even find it on the company’s store page.

DJI's Mini Pro 5 drone is the first in the series with a 1-inch sensor

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-21 06:01:24

DJI's flagship Mini 5 Pro consumer drone has arrived and it's the first in the series with a 1-inch sensor camera for improved low-light video. Nearly every other feature has been updated as well, including the obstacle detection, range, subject tracking and more — all for around the same price as its predecessor, the Mini 4 Pro. I've had the drone for just enough time to give some quick thoughts (stay tuned for a full review later), but so far it looks like DJI has outdone itself again. The Mi

After Ukrainian testing, drone-detection radar doubles range with simple software patch

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces.

‘Here We Go!’: Trump Weighs in After Russian Drones Shot Down Over Poland

NATO fighter jets shot down at least three Russian drones in Polish airspace overnight after more than a dozen entered its eastern border, according to several reports. It was a historic action, the first time that NATO forces have shot down a Russian aircraft in a NATO country. But President Donald Trump didn’t offer much clarity about what the U.S. plans to do about it, writing a confusing Truth Social post on Wednesday that could be read several different ways. “What’s with Russia violating

By late January, the incoming Trump administration would assert that the entirety of the New Jersey drone wave had been benign, with each and every UAS “authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.” Their surety, however, stood in stark contrast to the warnings from top military brass, including the Air Force general at the head of NORAD, Gregory Guillot.
