TECHNOLOGY
Many companies have been racing
over the decade to create an
autonomous vehicle that is safe,
and able to deliver products in
record breaking time. Now thanks
to Starship technologies, we can
achieve that dream!
RISE OF THE PIZZA BOTS!
Starship is a company developing self-driving
robots, and they have been in the spotlight over the
recent years for teaming up with food giants such
as Just Eat and Pizza Hut, to improve the way we
receive food.
Over the past few years, they have been running
a number of tests all over the world. They started
briefly in London with Just Eat, and then moved
on to other cities in Germany and the Netherlands,
delivering pizza within a one-mile radius.
Hermes, a parcel company have also been working
alongside Starship to research on increasing the
range of 'on demand' service. They have already
begun testing the vehicles in Hamburg, and they
have now moved on to London, where you can find
the vehicles in Southwark.
With state of the art sensors and cameras,
Starship has answered our prayers for an effective
way to reduce carbon footprint, as well as reducing
the number of motor accidents that we see on our
roads every year.
