Your next Uber Eats could be delivered by this robot

You may soon be able to say goodbye to those awkward encounters with Uber Eats delivery drivers because there’s no need for small talk with a robot

Uber has launched a pilot food delivery service in two Californian cities using autonomous vehicles.

Self-driving cars as well as sidewalk robots are now being tested, available to Uber Eats users in Santa Monica and West Hollywood.

Uber is collaborating with Motional, a self-driving joint venture of Hyundai and Aptiv, with the sidewalk robots supplied by Serve Robotics.

Although the vehicles are autonomous they are still being monitored by human operators which is why it may be difficult to expand the services.

The company made the announcements during its annual product event where it showcases the latest app updates.

Among these, Uber also revealed its launch of a map displaying electric vehicle charging stations within its driver app in the U.S. first and later globally.

U.S. Users will also soon be able to rent party and coach buses and passenger vans through Uber’s collaboration with rental service Coachways.
