Nuro Autonomous Vehicle
From BBC
"Get that pizza delivered before the end of the sunny interval!"
If there is an accident (or, rather, when), you can imagine the lawyers arguing over the definition of what 'fair weather' is.
It might be feasible to operate 'in fair weather' in California. It might be more difficult in a country like Britain, where the weather changes every 20 minutes (on average).
The next step is to have the pizzas made by a robot. And, finally, the ultimate achievement will be to have it eaten by a robot (including the olives on top, pitted or not).
I mean, do we really need human beings?
