Serve is one of the few public pure plays on autonomous last-mile delivery; its robots run on NVIDIA Jetson Orin compute and are validated in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, making it a commercial test of physical AI on city streets.
Earns delivery fees from delivery platforms and merchants (including DoorDash and Uber Eats partnerships), plus software and branding revenue.
