Trending. The future of pizza delivery🍕
As we hurtle toward a dystopian future in which all jobs have been taken by robots and other high-tech machines, Pizza Hut is looking for a leg up in the pizza delivery wars by eliminating human element. The chain is partnering with Toyota on a driverless concept vehicle that could one day cook and deliver Pizza Hut pies
This move will be of interest to Domino’s, which has been leading pizza delivery innovation with drones, self-driving cars, and vehicles touting backseat ovens. Pizza Hut has truly upped the game by installing those backseat ovens in autonomous trucks, mashing up two “innovations” in a sleek box on wheels.
Toyota calls the vehicle the “e-Palette” and introduced it yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Test models could hit the streets by 2020, reports Business Insider. After that, it may only be a matter of time before the Hut can boost its balance sheet with a trimmed-down workforce that does not include professional delivery people.

When the car arrives, the definitely sober customer will have to meet it in the street. Once they tap the last four digits of their phone number into a tablet mounted on the exterior, the back window will roll down, allowing access to their stuffed crust meat feast.
No doubt it's a clever marketing stunt for both companies, but it's also a chance to answer a
vital question that gets little attention compared to the technical challenge of autonomy: how will humans interact with driverless cars? The promise of the technology is huge—fewer crashes, less congestion, more convenience—but only if people actually want the things in their lives.
A video to summarize this up!! 😀
