A new hazard to deal with on shared use paths?
http://uk.reuters.com/video/2015/12/20/self-driving-delivery-robot-could...
Wonder how the autonomous bit deals with people on bicycles?
I'm curious about the legalities of this. It would appear to be a motorised vehicle of sorts...

It looks as though it tracks you down in the street, using your mobile phone. It has to do that... if it rocked up to your front door, how would it ring the bell?
Seriously, these guys have some credibility on account of having been in at the start of Skype, so one way or another plenty of money will be thrown at this idea.

A completely stupid contraption. It wouldn't last 5 mins in most areas of the UK before someone nicked it and smashed it up to get at what was inside.
IS are going to just love these.
Why? Do they do a lot of internet shopping?
they could make one in the shape of a bloody enormous great wooden horse and all hide inside it
Well most of the shared use paths we have round here aren't exactly on any delivery routes - they're mainly disused railway lines - so its not going to be used by these things.
Anyway aren't they all going to be flying the shopping home via drones ?
(I think the star trek transporter idea seems a better bet anyway)
To be honest, I wonder how this would deal with just people? Looks a bit 'Tomorrow's World' to me...
