Serve Robotics Expands AI-Powered Delivery to 100+ Chicago Restaurants with Uber Eats

Serve Robotics has expanded its autonomous delivery service to the Chicago metro area, marking its first Midwest entry in partnership with Uber Eats, part of Uber Technologies, Inc. This launch covers 14 Chicago neighborhoods and offers contact-free delivery from over 100 restaurants, aiming to enhance convenience, sustainability, and reliability. The expansion follows successful deployments in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta and supports Serve's goal to deploy 2,000 AI-powered delivery robots across the U.S. by 2025. Uber Technologies, Inc. has seen strong investor confidence, with shares rising significantly this year, partly fueled by its delivery automation efforts. Despite Serve Robotics' ambitious growth, the company faces financial challenges, including a high price-to-sales ratio and negative return on equity, though it maintains strong liquidity. This partnership underscores a broader trend of integrating autonomous delivery technology into urban settings to improve customer experience and reduce emissions.
