"DoorDash is starting to offer gigs beyond delivering food and other orders, involving taking photos of store shelves to monitor what's out-of-stock or helping a self-driving delivery vehicle get back on the road."
"The new gigs show how DoorDash can use its existing delivery workforce for other areas of the business where it still needs to improve its AI or retail technology."
"For now, the gigs are largely a supplementary source of income for delivery and ride-hailing workers, but that could change as self-driving vehicles become more common."
DoorDash is introducing new gig opportunities called 'tasks' that involve taking photos of store shelves and assisting self-driving delivery vehicles. These tasks aim to improve AI and retail technology. The company is also piloting an app for gig workers to help train AI by filming everyday activities or recording themselves speaking different languages. While these gigs currently serve as supplementary income, they may evolve as self-driving vehicles become more prevalent in delivery and inventory tracking.
