Robots will start delivering Uber Eats

Uber Eats is teaming up with autonomous tech developer Nuro in a partnership to deliver food using robots, Autoweek reports.

The two companies signed a ten-year contract, and Nuro's latest robot will start delivering food to app users in Houston and Mountain View, California.
 
Maybe now my food won't arrive tossed around like it was coming in on a rocket from space.
 
Cute, but will this actually work in the US?

Parcel crime is big over there, and I can already see some grubby hands in play.
 
With the hooligans in this country, this will not work
Africa is not allowed to have nice things.

Yeah, they are soft on package crime as it is hard to prove even with the person caught ion camera.

If you see one you just grab the takeaway packet. No witness. Would they prosecute you for a $5 to 10 meal? If they do catch you, you just say you thought it was for you. You don't need to even run away from the robot as those robots aren't programmed to chase people.

Parcel theft is the last thing they would worry about here in SA.

They might even strip it for scrap metal and spares for other things...
