""The intersection of roads and road-adjacent spaces, such as bike lanes, shoulders and curbsides, are the areas that make up the hardest part of the last-mile delivery puzzle.""
""This partnership is focused on unlocking those spaces.""
""Rivian... has made self-driving technology increasingly central to its future as of late.""
""It's not clear where the autonomous technology will come from, and if Rivian will have a hand in that.""
Also, a spin-off from Rivian, is entering the autonomous vehicle market by collaborating with DoorDash to create self-driving delivery vehicles. The partnership aims to address challenges in last-mile delivery, particularly in complex road-adjacent areas. DoorDash is investing in Also as part of a $200 million funding round, valuing the company at $1 billion. Also's product line includes a high-end e-bike and a pedal-assist quad, with plans for urban deliveries. Rivian's focus on self-driving technology is influencing Also's direction, although details on the autonomous technology remain unclear.
