What you'll actually see in Washington, D.C., USA

Sidewalk delivery robots

The knee-high coolers on wheels rolling down the sidewalk are Kiwibot, Coco Robotics, and Serve Robotics. They roam local sidewalks, hauling food and small orders and waiting their turn at crosswalks. There are 3 verified on record here.

Robotaxis

Driverless passenger cars from Zoox and Waymo are in limited pilots -- invite or trial rides, not open hailing yet. That usually opens up as the pilots grow.

And the ones you'd never guess

Not everything on wheels here is dropping off dinner. The record also includes Relay and TRX -- the oldest on file here since 2025.
