Self-driving robocarts for contactless street vending

Neolix, a Chinese supplier of delivery vehicles is working with KFC to test self-driving chicken vending trucks in Shanghai. Stationed outside a busy metro stop in Shanghai, these vehicles provide contactless food retailing for passing travelers.

This suggests that the future of autonomy is more focused on delivery, and will have massive impacts on urban retailing, allowing large chains to surge capacity into high-volume locations without the hassle of operating local storefronts.
