The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that Alphabet's Waymo is enlisting Doordash drivers in Atlanta to close robotaxi doors that have been left open, letting the driverless vehicles continue on their way. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post says a driver in Atlanta recently received a Doordash offer paying $11.25 (U.S.) to close an open Waymo vehicle door, according to a screenshot of the Doordash driver app posted to social media site Reddit. "No pickup or delivery required," the screenshot read. Doordash and Waymo confirmed the door-closing task is part of a pilot partnership. "In the rare event a vehicle door is left ajar, preventing the car from departing, nearby Dashers are notified, allowing Waymo to get its vehicles back on the road quickly," the companies said. They said the payment structure "is designed to ensure competitive and fair compensation for Dashers."
