Uber has launched a food delivery service using autonomous robots in Jersey City, New Jersey. Uber Eats customers can enjoy this new service starting in the second week of February.
In 2024, the two companies announced the launch of delivery robots to operate in Dallas and Austin, Texas, marking an important milestone for autonomous vehicle technology.
Customers can choose between a traditional human delivery driver or a robot for their meal delivery. Initially, the autonomous robots will operate in downtown Jersey City from 11 AM to 9 PM.
The robots used in the service travel at 8 km/h for up to 50 km on a single charge. They operate in snow, rain, and subzero temperatures. They were designed with a chassis that provides traction on wet roads.
Uber has autonomous delivery programs in 11 cities with six different partner companies after selling its autonomous vehicle research division, Uber Advanced Technologies Group.
