Ford is teaming up with Domino’s for self-driving pizza delivery tests: pies will be driven to randomly selected customers in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area in a Ford Fusion Hybrid equipped with self-driving technology. As you might expect, the tests are being conducted to gauge how everyday people will react to food deliveries by autonomous service vehicles.
...randomly selected Domino's customers in Ann Arbor will have the opportunity to receive their delivery order from a Ford Fusion Hybrid Autonomous Research Vehicle, which will be manually-driven by a Ford safety engineer and staffed with researchers. Customers who agree to participate will be able to track the delivery vehicle through GPS using an upgraded version of Domino's Tracker. They will also receive text messages as the self-driving vehicle approaches that will guide them on how to retrieve their pizza using a unique code to unlock the Domino's Heatwave Compartment inside the vehicle.
