Serve won’t replace Postmates’ fleet of human workers so much as it will economize their routes. Ninety percent of Postmates’ deliveries happen in cars, but more than half of them are within walking distance. When someone orders a burrito from a nearby taco shop, a Postmate usually hops in a car, sits in traffic, circles the block looking for parking—then has to repeat the process when they drop the delivery at the customer’s house.
“Somehow, as a society, we are OK with the fact that we are moving a two-pound burrito with a two-ton car,” says Kashani.
Serve is designed to fix that. Imagine: a fleet of them rolling into restaurants and convenience stores, picking up food, then hopping into a car with a human, who drives a few miles more before sending Serve to bring the delivery the last mile to reach a customer, who unlocks the cargo by using the touch screen or their mobile phone
