[quote:rekinom8:MV8zMTIxOTEwXzU1NzMwNzE3Xzg4Rjk3MjMz] Lets say you buy two of those things. The first one drowns in a pond, and its the better outcome, because the second one decides to cross a highway and causes a car crash, killing 2 people and making another 2 cripples for life and [b]you[/b] will be responsible. Because the robot isn't. So you will be facing manslaughter charges, payments for the injured, and a mob of angry relatives, who are interested in talking to a person who let an obstacle run around freely. Neither of the choices is particularly encouraging. [/quote]

Domino's Has Unveiled a Robot That Will Deliver Your Pizza In the Future
"Domino's Pizza company has unveiled plans to trial the 'world's first' driverless pizza delivery robots, named the DRU - Domino's Robotic Unit - in Australia and New Zealand.
"Developed in Australia, and powered by technology from the Australian start-up, Marathon Robotics, the prototype has a friendly persona and lighting to help customers identify and interact with it.
"The Domino's Robotic Unit is a four-wheeled vehicle standing at just under a metre high with a heated compartment that can hold up to 10 pizzas.
"It is battery powered, uses on-board sensors to avoid obstacles on footpaths and can make deliveries within a 20km radius of a store, before returning to recharge. Customers are given a code when they order, which they enter onto a keypad to unlock the compartment containing their pizza."
