Скачать или смотреть The Thing About These Food Delivery Robots…

I’ve seen these little robots driving around some neighborhoods in Chicago for a little while now. I was curious what they were doing, and why Chicago was interested.

These are owned by Coco Robotics, who has about 1,000 of these across several cities. Partnered with DoorDash and UberEats, you can select the robot for delivery, which you don’t need to tip.

And it seems as though they are at least reasonably effective at their task, and they are also quite a bit cheaper than human drivers. Are they good with respect to gig workers? Probably not.

And are they good for cities? I guess we’ll find out.
