Delivery Isnโt Time-Constrained Like Robotaxis | Ashu Rege, Vice President of DoorDash Labs, DoorDash
๐ค Austinโs growth looks massiveโฆ but itโs coming off a tiny base. Still early and not yet a major contributor despite leading in QoQ growth
It will be interesting to see how these numbers change over time, and as Waymo scales/provides more data on new markets like ATL, NSH and beyond.
๐งต (5/6)
๐ LA and SF are now driving most of the incremental growth. LA continues to gain share (though momentum may be slowing), while SF looks more stableโฆ growing, but not expanding its relative footprint
๐งต (4/6)
๐ต Phoenix is still in the lead, but Los Angeles and San Francisco are catching up. Its share of total miles is declining every quarter, a clear sign that growth is shifting to newer markets
๐งต (3/6)
Rider-only miles = miles driven without a human driver. Waymo reports this quarterly, and weโve been tracking the data since mid-2024. Hereโs what stands out ๐
๐งต (2/6)
Thereโs very little detailed data available showing Waymoโs market share across its active citiesโฆ so we tried to piece it together ๐
In our latest piece on The Driverless Digest, we analyze Waymoโs rider-only miles over time to understand how each market is actually performing.

Scale: Coordinating Robots and Orders in Autonomous Delivery at DoorDash Labs | Ashu Rege, Vice President of DoorDash Labs, DoorDash
Should be a great conversation. Looking forward to this one and a lot more on Friday - get your ticket now!
Weโll also dive into why they designed the DOT from the ground up, what it takes to integrate robots and AVs into an existing delivery network, and how DoorDash is approaching scale across different markets and use cases. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ค
Excited to be moderating a fireside chat this Friday at Curbivore with Harrison Shih from DoorDash, where weโll be meeting the DoorDash DOT and talking about everything the company is doing on the automation front to help accelerate local commerce ๐ค๐ฆ
