This deployment brings autonomous doorstep delivery into everyday use. RIVR’s Physical AI technology completes deliveries where consumers actually receive them — at the door — removing friction at the most critical moment of the delivery experience. Built for real urban conditions, the system navigates steps, and uneven environments, enabling unattended delivery without compromises to speed, reliability, or service quality.
The Milton Keynes launch represents a move beyond limited automation models, demonstrating how autonomous delivery can integrate directly into existing logistics operations and perform at scale during peak demand. After a successful launch in Zürich, Switzerland, this move reflects a shared ambition with Just Eat Takeaway.com to take autonomous delivery from novelty to infrastructure.
Marko Bjelonic, CEO of RIVR, said:
“Expanding our partnership with Just Eat Takeaway.com is an important step in scaling autonomous delivery across European cities. By automating delivery at the customer’s doorstep, our technology removes friction at the point of handover and creates a more seamless experience for consumers. The launch in Milton Keynes reflects a shared focus on practical, automated delivery that integrates seamlessly into existing operations and scales with demand.”
Customers in Milton Keynes can select autonomous delivery directly in the Just Eat app when ordering from participating local restaurants. The service operates alongside traditional delivery fleets, strengthening delivery capacity while improving consistency during busy periods.
RIVR’s mission is clear: automate delivery all the way to the consumer’s doorstep and redefine how goods move through cities. With active deployments and expanding partnerships across Europe, the company is setting the standard for what scalable autonomous delivery looks like in the real world.
