A Culinary Adventure with Robot Delivery in the Mosaic District of Fairfax, Virginia
Uber Eats and Cartken’s innovative partnership brings autonomous food delivery to Washington, D.C.
“Autonomous technology will play an important role in the future of transportation and the movement of goods. We see autonomous vehicles working together with couriers and drivers in a hybrid model that increases network density, platform reliability, and ultimately wins more merchants and customers,” said Abby Wheeler, an Uber spokeswoman.
Recently, my brother and I enjoyed a day in the bustling Mosaic District of Fairfax, Virginia. What truly caught our attention was a fleet of remarkable robots designed to efficiently deliver meals to diners.
These sleek robots, boasting a distinctive design with six wheels and a striking red flag, are the product of a partnership between Uber Eats and Cartken, an AI-driven robotics company. Together, they have introduced an innovative era of food delivery right within the heart of the Mosaic District.
