Tech in the News: A Toaster on Wheels to Deliver Groceries? Self-Driving Tech Tests Practical Uses

What would you do if you saw a tiny robotic car driving slowly down the road delivering groceries? Self-driving technology is still relatively new, but companies like Postmates are looking for new ways to deliver groceries and other products to customers.

Nuro, a company founded in 2016, focuses on the creation of self-driving cars solely designed to make deliveries. Because these vehicles are not designed to carry passengers, they can be made much smaller and more compact to increase the margin of error on roadways.

While the technology is still a few years away from being fully operation, perhaps someday we'll be getting snacks delivered right to Parkside.
