Doordash for laundry.

  You jest but I searched "Uber for laundry" and found services partnering with both Uber and Doordash for transportation.

  Washio was an American on-demand laundry cleaning and delivery service. The company was founded in 2013 by Jordan Metzner, Bob Wall, and Juan Dulanto, and raised $17 million in funding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washio_(company) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washio_(company)

  Laundries have offered pickup and delivery since ... forever? It's like pizza. The markets are very local, and the growth opportunity is limited.

    Taxis have offered pickup and delivery service since forever, and yet here we are.

      OK, again, the context is a "laundromat" business. Laundry as a service with an app to schedule pickup and delivery? OK, people have tried that. Not that exciting, not that scalable. You still need a lot of facilites, machines, and humans to make that work. It's not something that exists as a virtual product that can be scaled up with an AI.

        Ok, again. Taxicabs are not exciting, not scaleable, and involve a lot of machines and humans to make them work. How many iterations do you have in mind for this? EDIT: My answer for "can a rapidly growing start-up successfully take on taxicabs?" is "yes."

          Will AI take over the taxicab business, somehow eliminating the need for cars and drivers?
