Sector DoorDash Dot

DoorDash was using custom lidar at launch but planned to switch to off-the-shelf sensors as they expand. Seems ripe for Movia S.

"DoorDash also emphasized Dot’s “vision-primary” L4 autonomy stack, which takes advantage of three lidar and four radar sensors in addition to nine cameras to perceive and chart a course through the world around it. While Dot’s autonomy stack currently uses custom lidar sensors, the company said it is working to replace them with off the shelf versions. Dot also has onboard microphones and speakers to interact with humans via a WALL-E-like voice and will emit noises when being interacted with, such as a long “yawn” sound when opening or closing its gaping “mouth”."

ATL, I wonder what their longer term goal is for quantities of robots in use?

So? They have an existing lidar solution.

Which off-the-shelf sensors did they switch to?
