DoorDash extends gig work into AI ordering, retail, and automation

DoorDash's autonomous-delivery push includes a six-propeller drone, sub-five-minute test deliveries, relevant FAA air-carrier certification, and planned Northern California pilots with Chipotle and Popeyes. A business overview also cites $13.7 billion in 2025 revenue, $0.9 billion net income, and an estimated $6.30 average Dasher share including tips, but these do not establish typical net earnings or clarify how expansion changes worker opportunities.
