Waymo and DoorDash Are Teaming Up to Deliver Your Food via Robotaxi
- Thursday, Waymo announced a partnership with DoorDash Inc. to pilot autonomous deliveries across metro Phoenix, covering around 315 square miles, using Waymo's driverless Jaguar SUVs in DoorDash's fleet.
- Background: DoorDash's recent robot moves include unveiling Dot last month and partnering with Serve Robotics earlier this month, following Waymo’s ended Uber Eats tie-up last year in Phoenix.
- Through the DoorDash app, customers in Phoenix can add grocery and meal items, select autonomous delivery, unlock Waymo vehicle trunks, and receive DashMart orders as tests continue with broader operations planned later this year.
- As a result, Waymo and DoorDash expect the partnership to reduce deadhead miles and cut costs tied to human couriers while offering DashPass membership promotion .
- Arizona's regulatory environment and Waymo's operating history since 2017 make it a testing ground, and DoorDash says the partnership may expand to other US cities where Waymo operates.
