Andy Walker / Android Authority As 2025 approaches its final quarter, we now have a solid view of what the flagship mobile chipset space will look like for the next twelve months. Apple has its new Apple A19 Pro, Google has its Tensor G5, MediaTek is lining up the Dimensity 9500, and Qualcomm has just unveiled its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

A DoorDash robot has been unveiled by the delivery company, named Dot. Looking vaguely like an extremely red stroller, the company says it’s the first commercial autonomous delivery robot to be able to use any mix of roads, sidewalks, and bike lanes … DoorDash says it’s intended to replace the use of cars for more local deliveries. “You don’t always need a full-sized car to deliver a tube of toothpaste or pack of diapers.

DoorDash’s New Delivery Robot Rolls Out Into the Big, Cruel World

DoorDash unveils Dot, its autonomous robot built to deliver your food

On Tuesday, DoorDash unveiled Dot, a small robot it built in-house that can autonomously drive on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks to deliver food and small packages at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Dot is designed to look friendly and even cartoonish — painted bright red, with big LED eyes and a mouth that swings open to reveal where it holds your food — though I’d argue it’s slightly creepy.
