DoorDash Will Start Delivering Food Via Robots In California This Thursday

This Thursday, the on-demand delivery company DoorDash’s human couriers will begin working alongside a new type of coworker: robots. DoorDash is putting a small fleet of six-wheeled delivery robots into action for the first time in Redwood City, California following weeks of tests. The robots, built by a company called Starship Technologies, are about the size of a golden retriever and roll around sidewalks with relative ease. They’ll be used to lug food from restaurants to customers on short-distance orders, spanning anywhere from one to two miles.
