DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) shares rose 4% on Thursday after the company announced a new partnership with Waymo to launch an autonomous delivery service in Metro Phoenix, with plans for a broader commercial rollout later this year.
The service is currently in a testing phase and will allow DoorDash customers to receive deliveries using Waymo’s fully autonomous vehicles. Initially, deliveries will be fulfilled from DashMart, DoorDash’s owned and operated convenience and grocery store, with plans to expand to additional merchants over time.
In tandem with the autonomous delivery announcement, DoorDash unveiled a new promotion for DashPass members in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix, offering $10 off one Waymo ride per month through December 31, 2025. New promo codes will be issued monthly.
“DashPass is designed to give consumers consistent value, convenience, and access to the best of their communities, and our partnership with Waymo builds on that promise,” said David Richter, Vice President of Business and Corporate Development at DoorDash.
The autonomous delivery program will run through DoorDash’s Autonomous Delivery Platform, which integrates multiple delivery modes — including human Dashers, robots, drones, and now Waymo’s autonomous vehicles — to expand last-mile fulfillment options.
