To create a frictionless, reliable, consistent, and sustainable delivery experience for merchants and their customers in cities everywhere.
Desirable
Demand for rapid home delivery continues to grow, but traditional gig-economy drivers are in too short a supply (and are too costly) to meet it. So top tier companies and startups alike have been racing to develop last-mile delivery robots. Coco is one of them, and has been making pretty strong strides.
Following a successful LA pilot, the company has begun launching its fleet of delivery robots to Dallas, Houston, and Miami to help companies deliver food faster and more cheaply to their customers.
This is a good start for the relative newcomer - but the delivery robot market is getting crowded. Major enterprises like Amazon and Fedex, as well as well-resourced startups Starship, Nuro, and Yandex (among others) are all seeing strong uptake. Many of them are also developing fully autonomous vehicles, where Coco’s robots are human-piloted.
This makes Coco’s deliveries competitively fast, and far more reliable - for now at least, whilst autonomous technology is still a work in progress. However, there are some suggestions that relying on remote human pilots has created similar gig-economy employment issues as we’re seen with more traditional courier companies. It may hamper Coco’s progress in future as rival refine their product
