DoorDash to use Serve Robotics’ sidewalk robots for deliveries in Los Angeles

DoorDash, a major food delivery service, has partnered with Serve Robotics, a company that specializes in autonomous sidewalk delivery robots, to introduce robotic delivery services in Los Angeles. The multi-year agreement will allow DoorDash to utilize Serve Robotics' sidewalk robots to make deliveries across the United States. This partnership aims to enhance the convenience and efficiency of DoorDash's delivery services by leveraging Serve Robotics' autonomous technology. The robots are designed to navigate sidewalks and deliver goods directly to customers' doorsteps, potentially reducing the need for human drivers in certain areas. The implementation of this robotic delivery system in Los Angeles is the first step in a broader rollout, with the companies planning to expand the service to other regions in the future. This initiative aligns with the growing trend of incorporating robotics and automation into the last-mile delivery segment, aiming to improve service quality and reduce delivery costs for customers.
