Door Dash Project

Doordash is looking to automate food delivery using self-driving robots for trips that are less than 2 miles in order to reduce its operating costs and provide more reliable delivery times. The long term goal is that these delivery robots will navigate sidewalks fully autonomously. But initially, there may be times when manual intervention will be required. Your team has been tasked with building a tool for the operations team-- to view the status of deliveries and remotely take control of robots that need intervention (ie: rerouting).

Field Feedback:

The DoorDash Operations team is generally very happy with your product, but in about 25% of the deliveries with the robots, there are some issues. You believe that it is because the operations team misses some of the robots malfunction. What can you do to address this item?
