Are robots the future of food delivery? Serve Robotics thinks so
Your next late-night pizza delivery may be handed to you by a different kind of delivery driver: a four-wheeled autonomous robot. Food delivery bots have already taken to the streets of Los Angeles, treading sidewalks for several years already as Serve Robotics (SERV) has partnered with online food giant Uber Eats (UBER) for local deliveries. Serve Robotics CEO Ali Kashani joins Yahoo Finance in-studio to show off Serve's delivery robots and discuss how the company's autonomous bots are changing the future of food delivery services. "The first thing to keep in mind is that by default these robots are allowed to operate anywhere, but 20-plus states have put reservations in favor to encourage to launch the robots there. And fundamentally, one robot has 3,000 times less kinetic energy than a vehicle. So regulators understand that this makes roads safer," Kashani explains. "Now, we know for a fact this is safer than a car doing the same thing, but it has the advantage of reducing congestion and C02s, and also bringing the costs down for the local businesses that right now are struggling with the costs of delivery."
