After a Successful First Year in Los
Angeles, Serve Has a Plan to Deploy Up to 2,000 AI-Powered
Sidewalk Delivery Robots in New Markets on the Uber Platform
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Serve
Robotics Inc., the leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company,
unveiled the scope of their partnership with Uber Technologies Inc.
(NYSE: UBER), the world's largest food delivery and ridesharing
platform. The company's commercial agreement allows for Serve to
deploy its robots on Uber Eats in multiple markets across
the United States, with up to two
thousand Serve Robots to be fielded. Utilizing delivery robots has
the potential to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, while
also improving the efficiency of last mile delivery and offering
customers and merchants a new and innovative delivery
experience.
Expanding the partnership with Uber is a significant opportunity
for Serve. Serve's robotic deliveries have grown over 30% month
over month since deliveries began in 2022, with over 200
restaurants in Los Angeles now
participating. This growing awareness and interest in robotic
delivery in one of the largest North American markets is evident in
the thousands of positive ratings received for completed
deliveries.
"We are thrilled to be growing our partnership with Uber," said
Dr. Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO
of Serve Robotics. "This partnership is a major step towards mass
commercialization of robotics for autonomous delivery, and it is a
testament to the success of our partnership. We are excited to
continue our work with Uber to bring this innovative technology to
more cities across the country."
