Robots started delivering food today in 2 cities

Starting today, residents and businesses in Redwood City, Calif., and Washington, D.C., can get food delivered right to their doors — via robot. Starship Technologies, an Estonia-based startup created by two Skype co-founders, Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, will put its autonomous ground-delivery robots to work delivering food with Postmates in Washington, D.C., and DoorDash in Redwood City, Calif.
quote:
Each rover works like a delivery person: It goes to the restaurant to get loaded up (with its handler in tow), delivers to the address and then goes to the next restaurant to do it again. Neither Postmates nor DoorDash will charge extra for the robot experience. And Postmates lets customers opt out if robotic delivery isn’t their bag; DoorDash doesn’t give an option. The robots are expected to make around 10 deliveries a day.

For now.

The idea is that one day soon these autonomous rovers will share sidewalk space with pedestrians on their own, but for now they’ll be accompanied by handlers

The next step is anti theft measures that will make it learn aggressive behavior

11 year olds will use guns to still food from them.

First delivery boys, next doctors. I cannot fricking wait to see a robot doctor who's on time and not an uppity count.

Lolz you're gonna be waiting awhile. Better grab an old magazine off the waiting room table. From the sounds of it, your doctor probably wishes he could send a robot in to talk to you about your butt condylomata instead of having to hear you whine.

Programmed to say "I'll be back."
