The robots are here.

Little 6 wheeler cooler boxes with antenna waiting at the junction "meals on 6 Wheels" . If this works then we TRULEY ARE F*****.
 
It is going to happen eventually all over .. this and similar when they work everything out .. what I don't understand though with these little 6 wheeler things is how do they think they are just going to set them on their way and not have little scroats boot them over, smash them up and force them open?

I mean - they'll be prime targets for a kicking!

That harmless robot delivering your Parmo has friends you don't want to be messing with 🤖

"I think you will find that it WAS a chicken keeebab that you ordered"

.... one of the 6 wheelers was in my neighbourhood a few months ago, but followed by a guy. Which seemed to defeat the object. I live in Lewisham. Both he and the mobile bin were carrying uzis to keep scrotes at bay.

We’ve had them near us for quite a while now, delivering for Asda and Co-op. After the first day there doesn’t appear to have been any issues (kids riding them outside of their school on day 1!), albeit I do see a fair few of them stuck at busy junctions when it’s rush hour.

They've been in use for years now, since before lockdown. They've got 12 onboard cameras, two-way audio, gps location, sirens and are built pretty sturdy. Rarely anything of actual value in them and usually monitored.
 
They are testing them in the leafy suburb of Sale. Where it rains a lot.



Can't wait to see them negotiate the blocked drains and huge puddles they have.

We have them all over towns in the South. Nobody bothers them and you occasionally see someone help them out of they get stuck. My daughter lives to see them.

No doubt these things are the future but I just can't imagine them not being interfered with or vandalised in deprived areas. You only have to look at what was happening with the Mobikes in Newcastle and how many of them got dumped into the Tyne, etc.

I think companies using them will have to be prepared to lose a few before the scrotes get tired of them.

I think the main difference, certainly at the minute is because they are fairly rare, they are fun to see.

They are probably so cheap supermarkets don't care if they loose one or two to vandals. I believe they are equipped with recording equipment so any interference is filmed. They are also monitored. In Woburn a guy picked one up that had 1 wheel of the kirb and lifted it back onto the kirb and it said Thankyou. I assume someone was monitoring it.
 
Went to Northampton vs Forest Green Rovers last year and they were all over Northampton. Couldn't believe my eyes at first.

I've not actually seen any yet. Such a cool use of modern tech. I wonder whether I'll get a drone delivery first?

Looks like a Big Trak (one for the kids there 🙂) - hopefully it works better than they did!
 
Given the state of the paths and pavements these things will never work widely. Will be getting stuck all the time until they use legs instead of wheels.

Although, to be on the safe side: I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

I forgot you live near me 😂

Have seen these cute little things for the past 7 years or so. Never seen any trouble with them personally
 
The city I lived in in China is trialling driverless electric taxis, Nissan. You just hail them and they pick you up instead of the usual 2-3 minute wait. As it’s a trial they are also free.
