DoorDash has unveiled Dot, an all-electric robot built for local deliveries. Developed by DoorDash Labs, the compact vehicle can travel on bike lanes, sidewalks, driveways, and roads at speeds up to 20 mph. Dot is rolling out first in Tempe and Mesa, Arizona, as part of an early access program before wider expansion. The robot plugs directly into DoorDash’s new Autonomous Delivery Platform, which uses AI to decide the best method for each order — whether that’s a Dasher, a robot, or a drone. The Autonomous Delivery Platform acts as a dispatcher, matching orders with the fastest and most efficient option.
