(Starship Technologies marketing lead Henry Harris-Burland said the company can’t yet share the exact location.) DoorDash and Postmates customers will see the robots pop up as a delivery option in the respective apps, and it won’t cost any more than a typical delivery. The DoorDash trial will take place in Redwood City’s downtown business district, and Starship will run its Postmates pilot in the northwestern part of Washington, DC’s city limits. The commercial trials will see these services start making deliveries in the coming weeks using Starship’s six-wheeled robots within a four-mile-wide test area in each city. Starship Technologies announced the first two commercial partnerships for its ground-based delivery robots in the US today - one with DoorDash in Redwood City, California, and one with Postmates in Washington, DC. A small number of Americans will soon be able to have food and other goods delivered to them by an adorable semi-autonomous robot.
