DoorDash Expands Robot Delivery with Coco in Los Angeles and Chicago

• Sidewalk delivery robots now available for DoorDash customers at nearly 600 restaurants in both cities.
• Part of DoorDash’s push toward multi-modal delivery — integrating robots, drones, and human Dashers.

DoorDash and Coco announced an expanded partnership to bring sidewalk robot delivery to customers in Los Angeles and Chicago. Customers ordering from nearly 600 participating merchants may now have their food delivered by Coco’s emissions-free, AI-powered delivery robots.

This expansion builds on an earlier pilot with Wolt, DoorDash’s international arm, where Coco robots have been making deliveries in Helsinki. During testing, Coco completed over 100,000 deliveries for DoorDash customers.

The robot fleet is part of DoorDash’s multi-modal delivery strategy, aiming to improve efficiency and sustainability in last-mile logistics. Robots help reduce delivery wait times, cut emissions, and support local merchants by offering faster service during peak hours.

DoorDash Labs, the company’s robotics and automation arm, continues to explore a hybrid delivery ecosystem that integrates Dashers, drones, and autonomous robots to optimize fulfillment for every order.

🌀 Remix Reality Take:
Robot delivery is quietly becoming infrastructure. DoorDash’s move signals that robots aren’t just a novelty — they’re a strategic tool in the logistics stack, operating alongside humans and drones to meet rising demand.
