Overview

• DoorDash and Waymo launched an autonomous delivery pilot in Metro Phoenix, starting with orders from DoorDash’s DashMart convenience and grocery stores.
• Customers within Waymo’s roughly 315-square-mile service area can opt in at checkout and retrieve items by unlocking the vehicle’s trunk with the DoorDash app.
• The companies plan to add more merchants over time, and reporters say the same Waymo vehicles may handle both passenger rides and deliveries to raise fleet utilization.
• DoorDash introduced a DashPass perk that gives members $10 off one Waymo ride per month in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix through December 2025, limited to weekday rides between 2 a.m. and 2 p.m.
• DoorDash shares climbed after the announcement, underscoring investor interest in autonomous last‑mile delivery efforts.
