We should soon be able to cross the Google Car on Californian roads. Indeed, this small autonomous and electric vehicle has received approval to drive in the city. Here it is on video on the roads of Mountain View, near the headquarters of Google.

Official sponsor of Ligue 1 de footbal, Uber Eats now offers to take your orders at the stadium! It is one of the three novelties unveiled by the brand of delivery of meals and groceries at home. For now, it is only effective at Roazhon Park in reindeer and, since April 15, Stade Rennais supporters can book their “sausage cake” from the stands.

More concretely, it is possible to order in the refreshments of the stadium via I’application Uber Eats, and this avoids queuing at half-time or before the match. In the United States, baseball stadiums such as Angel Stadium in Los Angeles or Yankee Stadium in New York offer this function. Other enclosures, in Washington, San José and Houston, are also concerned.

The voice command

Another novelty, valid in France, the voice command since thegoogle assistant is now integrated into the app so customers can have their favorite meals or groceries delivered by voice. Just say “OK Google then name a restaurant and its dish, and the phone does the rest.

Finally, in Los Angeles, Uber Eats does not only deliver by bike or scooter since the brand has set up two autonomous delivery pilots. They are signed Serve Robotics and make contactless deliveries by traveling short distances and only on sidewalks. The next step will be self-driving electric cars, and their design is entrusted to Motional.

For now, delivery routes are only on sidewalks. This little robot is a powerhouse of technology that incorporates automatic emergency braking, vehicle collision avoidance and fail-safe mechanical braking. © Serve Robotics
