This little robot might deliver your Uber Eats order if you’re in Jersey City.

Avride’s fleet of sidewalk delivery robots has arrived in Jersey City, New Jersey, where they will begin ferrying Uber Eats orders starting this week. The bots have a range of 31 miles and can drive at up to 5mph, even through rain or snow.

They’ll only deliver at select restaurants in the area to start, including Jiangnan, Rumi Turkish Grill, and others. Avride has also launched its delivery robots in Dallas and Austin as part of its partnership with Uber.

@Emma Roth @theverge.space When they eventually start delivering to homes, how would those of us who are blind handle it? That is, how would we know where they are in order to take the food, or where they put it if they placed it somewhere? I'm assuming we would pay for it online. I've never used this service.
