The future just keeps coming

I always thought this is where it was most likely to start. Home delivery of anything. Low speed, neighborhood driving with relative small, light vehicles.


Even now, at Christmas time, you'll see UPS drivers cruising the neighborhood in golf carts loaded with packages. Doesn't take much to extend that to driverless golf carts.








Kroger to bring driverless cars to grocery delivery

There's delivery, and there's driverless delivery. The latter is the big news.
