America’s largest supermarket chain is launching a fully driverless delivery service


QUOTE>>>Kroger, the nation’s (USA) largest supermarket chain, is teaming up with Nuro, a two-year-company started by two veterans of Google’s self-driving car team, to launch a fully driverless delivery service, the two companies announced Thursday.

A pilot will be rolled out to a yet-to-be-announced city later this fall. ... Customers can track and interact with the vehicles via a Nuro app or Kroger’s pre-existing online delivery platform. ... in our driverless future, we all need to pitch in and unload our own groceries. <<<

Amazon will offer drone delivery ...

I'm still waiting for Jane's machine that she sticks her head in to get her hair done.

Looks like the "Delivery Wars" have begun

I hear Walmart is designing a 10 meter tall robot to make deliveries j/k (I hope)

Oh, boy. This could get interesting.

Does this mean that Amazon's drone delivery is a 'no-go' if they have fleets of delivery vans?

I don't want my stuff delivered by a drone, personally. That's another one that makes say, "What could go wrong?" Again...lots.

For some reason I don't think this is designed for delivery

May I introduce my personal butler as an alternative suggestion?!?
