Your Delivery Robot Is Here
Aarian Marshall: Hello.
Michael Calore: Given today's topic, I'm curious to know what the most unexpected thing is that you have both ordered by a delivery app?
Louise Matsakis: So I was recently on a press trip to China to China, and I took notes during an interview, and I got on my white pants. So I ordered the Chinese equivalent of a tide pen. I think this is probably the weirdest thing I ever came to demand.
Aarian Marshall: I am so constitutional to just payable for delivery even before there were apps. I hate paid delivery people. Many respect what they do but I'd rather spend my money in other ways. So I think that recently, I'm really desperate and ordered pad Thai, and that was wild for me. So that's where I am.
Michael Calore: That's your most unexpected thing?
Aarian Marshall: Yes, the fact that I used completely is unexpected.
Michael Calore: Yes I mean, I live in any of the west coast of California's West Coast of California, and I rarely use the most unexpected thing I ever ordered is a bottle is a bottle of Irisish whiskey.
Aarian Marshall: Respect.

The sector of autonomous deliveries has slowly evoludes and has along a considerable challenges.
