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. |

rekinom8 User ID: 71704609 Germany 03/21/2016 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70321915 United States 03/21/2016 12:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71167988 Get used to it. Within ten years we will have driverless cars and Uber and Taxis will be out of business, so will truck drivers. |

RodeHard Putawaywet User ID: 71345460 United States 03/21/2016 01:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Domino's Has Unveiled a Robot That Will Deliver Your Pizza In the Future Quoting: I Love Panda Bears "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." [link to news.sky.com] If it delivers to the hood, it will have it's batteries and wheels stolen. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
