Editorial summaries

Amazon Scout

Amazon Scout was Amazon's six-wheeled, cooler-sized autonomous sidewalk delivery robot, and the canonical sidewalk-delivery wind-down datapoint. Launched in January 2019 (first neighborhood in Snohomish County, Washington), it field-tested across four US markets, adding Irvine in Southern California in 2019 and Atlanta and Franklin, Tennessee in 2020. There is no consumer price, and the program is discontinued: on October 6, 2022 (first reported by Bloomberg), Amazon wound the program down, ending the customer-facing field tests and disbanding the dedicated field-test team while reassigning employees rather than conducting mass layoffs. It is recorded at commercial maturity to reflect its historical peak of live customer field tests, with a discontinued lifecycle state. It is the canonical sidewalk wind-down alongside FedEx's paused Roxo: a verified-vs-claimed contrast case of a giant's program reaching commercial field-test scale and then being discontinued while survivors such as Starship, Serve, and Coco continued, in the same spirit as the discontinued autonomous-truck legacies Embark and TuSimple. The figure of roughly 400 people who worked on Scout is Amazon's total-program headcount, with the reassignment-versus-exit split not disclosed, and the city-level specifics are partly inherited from launch coverage.

Coco Bot

Coco's Coco Bot is a wheeled sidewalk delivery robot with an insulated cargo compartment for restaurant orders, operating at walking speeds on sidewalks within range of a partner restaurant. There is no consumer price: it is a B2B delivery service (restaurants pay for deliveries), not a robot sold to consumers. On the operator-supervision-to-autonomy spectrum it sits at the most operator-supervised end: the Coco Bot is teleoperated by remote pilots, not autonomous. From Coco Robotics, it is at commercial maturity.
