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."

Even the pizza delivery man's job won't be a secure job in the future. Who would have thought it?

Probably be one the biggest issues in the future is how does society pay themselves with robotic workers.

It's not economicly feasible. Pay out a million dollars for a RDU robot delivery unit with an expected 10 year life when it would cost $20,000 a to pay some poor schlep to deliver pizza on his own gas money. I think the delivery guys job is safe.

And #2 it's all about demographics not every store would have one. Population, productivity of a certain store.

Re: Domino's Has Unveiled a Robot That Will Deliver Your Pizza In the Future
Pizza delivery is a job that somebody can always fall back during hard times. It's usually a second job for some and it's a job that can easily be picked up after somebody gets canned from their regular line of work. Depending on the location of the store you can man pretty good money driving back and fourth all of course while compromising your vehicle with wear and tear so it is a job with drawbacks. Automating pizza delivery may not seem like a big deal to some but it really is a reliable job for those that have vehicles and don't want to get paid garbage frying french fries all day, you can easily make $100 a night in tips all for the advantage of you having a set of wheels. Expect a domino effect of Domino's does this and soon you'll see Pizza Hut and Little Caesar's follow suit along with other restaurants that deliver food. I'd honestly boycott Domino's if they start doing this as should others, we can't afford less jobs right now.

Nah.

-Electricity bills?
-Success rate and probability of not landing in a dump?
-Jail and payments for the owner in case that thing hurts someone?

Far far far away from reality.

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 you 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.
