San Francisco Gives Postmates Permit to Test Sidewalk Delivery Robots
Postmates gained approval to begin testing delivery robots in San Francisco.
Key findings
"The permit will let Postmates, which is available in 3,500 cities, expand into a new method of transportation for deliveries. Postmates claims that the electricity-powered robot, which has Velodyne LIDAR sensors and an Nvidia Xavier processor, can carry 50 lbs and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge."

"Postmates isn’t the first company to test sidewalk delivery robots. Starship Technologies’ robotic devices are already making deliveries in the UK, and the company partnered with Postmates to test deliveries in the US in 2017. With intense competition in delivery services from Amazon, DoorDash, Grubhub, Starship, and others, Postmates is looking to autonomous deliveries to help make its fleet more efficient and win over customers."
