DoorDash, Waymo Partner for Autonomous Delivery in Phoenix

DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) is one of the best up and coming stocks to buy right now. On October 16, DoorDash announced a new partnership with Waymo to launch an autonomous delivery service in Metro Phoenix, advancing DoorDash’s vision for a multi-modal autonomous future of local commerce. Testing of the new service is currently underway, with plans for a broader commercial launch later in the year.

DoorDash consumers in the Metro Phoenix area may be matched with a fully autonomous Waymo vehicle for deliveries from participating merchants. The orchestration of this service will be handled by DoorDash’s Autonomous Delivery Platform, which manages various delivery methods, including Dashers, robots, drones, and Waymo vehicles.

The service will initially begin with deliveries from DashMart, DoorDash’s owned and operated convenience, grocery, and retail store that also supports DashMart Fulfillment Services, with intentions to expand over time. In addition to the delivery service, the partnership also includes a limited-time $10 Waymo ride promotion for DashPass members in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix.

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