DoorDash Unveils 'Dot' Autonomous Delivery Robot for Multi-Modal Network

DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) is one of the best American stocks to buy and hold for the next 3 years. On September 30, DoorDash announced the unveiling of Dot, its first commercial autonomous delivery robot. Developed entirely in-house by DoorDash Labs, Dot is purpose-built for local commerce and is the first commercial autonomous delivery robot designed to seamlessly navigate bike lanes, roads, and sidewalks.

Dot is approximately one-tenth the size of a car, reaches speeds of up to 20 mph, and is all-electric, aiming to accelerate local commerce by providing quick, efficient, and secure deliveries while helping to reduce traffic congestion and emissions. The introduction of Dot is part of the larger rollout of DoorDash’s Autonomous Delivery Platform.

This platform functions as an AI dispatcher that orchestrates a multi-modal delivery system, matching each order with the optimal fulfillment method—whether that’s a human Dasher, a Dot on the road, a drone in the air, or a sidewalk robot.

DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) operates a commerce platform that connects merchants, consumers, and independent contractors in the US and internationally.
