Fast-growing autonomous fleet expands nationwide as demand rises for sustainable, AI-driven last-mile logistics.
San Francisco, USA, 12 December 2025 – Serve Robotics has reached a major milestone in autonomous delivery by deploying more than 2,000 sidewalk delivery robots across the United States, creating the largest active sidewalk robot fleet in the country. The achievement caps a year of rapid growth, with the company expanding its fleet nearly twentyfold in 2025 as demand for faster, safer, and more sustainable last-mile delivery continues to rise.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Serve Robotics has scaled operations across several major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Fort Worth, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, and Alexandria, Virginia. Additional city launches are planned for early 2026. This expansion has been driven by growing partnerships with leading restaurant brands, retailers, and delivery platforms such as Uber Eats and DoorDash.
Serve’s autonomous delivery robots are built to operate with Level 4 autonomy, allowing them to safely navigate sidewalks, intersections, and dense urban environments with minimal human intervention. The company reports a 99.8% completion rate, highlighting strong reliability and safety performance in real-world conditions. Each robot produces zero tailpipe emissions and replaces short vehicle trips, helping reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions in busy city neighborhoods.
The company’s rapid growth reflects a broader shift toward automation in last-mile logistics. Merchants and delivery platforms are increasingly looking for solutions that lower costs, shorten delivery times, and improve unit economics while meeting sustainability goals. Autonomous sidewalk delivery robots are emerging as a practical answer to these challenges, especially for short-distance, high-frequency deliveries.
Serve Robotics sees significant potential beyond restaurant delivery. Groceries, convenience items, small parcels, and return logistics are all areas where autonomous delivery technology can add value. As cities rethink how goods move within local communities, sidewalk robots are expected to become a familiar part of everyday urban life.
In 2025 alone, Serve expanded service zones in every existing market, launched operations in 110 high-density neighborhoods, and introduced its third-generation robots to support higher delivery volumes. The company believes this is only the beginning of a much larger opportunity in autonomous and electric delivery.
Originally spun off from Uber in 2021, Serve Robotics has completed tens of thousands of deliveries for enterprise partners and secured multi-year deployment agreements across multiple U.S. markets. With its fleet now exceeding 2,000 robots, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of AI-powered delivery, smart city logistics, and sustainable urban mobility.
