Uber Eats, a third-party delivery firm, is considering rolling out driverless delivery vehicles to deliver orders to customers. The delivery platform has partnered with Motional to roll out autonomous delivery vehicles in Santa Monica, California. Motional’s all-electric IONIQ 5 vehicles have been adapted to provide autonomous deliveries. The vehicle firm spent several months piloting the on-road autonomous vehicle (AV) programme in the Los Angeles area. The partner delivery firms will receive an update when the delivery vehicle will reach the customer’s location. Shoppers will receive a notification and use the Uber Eat app to unlock the vehicle door and collect their orders.
