Why it matters
The pilot is part of DoorDash's multi-modal strategy, using robots for short, local trips while human drivers handle longer orders. This launch marks Serve Robotics' first operation outside the United States. Furthermore, Griffith University is hosting the operations depot and exploring student opportunities with Serve Robotics.
