Oh, that’s nice. It will work like Houston’s death train. It will run over and kill people, but no harm done to the driver since there is no driver.

>>The R2 is a significant update, as it is more durable to handle harsh driving conditions, the sensors have been upgraded and the battery size has been almost doubled.

I’ll put $20 down that the first victim is a pedestrian with a slip-and-fall lawyer.

You should have posted a picture of a woman applying her makeup while driving.

Seems the vehicles would be easy pickin’s for the thugs who want to steal whatever is being delivered.

They invented a self driving vehicle. Now they need to wait for somebody to invent a door and a lock.

Seriously? Are you trolling?

How is this any different from people bringing in their groceries from the car?

Why not follow people home who use the ATM instead?

You’re either trolling or extremely pessimistic.
