Self-driving cars, once strictly the domain of science fiction, are already being commercialized.

A year on from its $1 billion investment in artificial intelligence company Argo A.I., Ford has started testing its self-driving technology on the sunny streets of Miami.

The automaker is keen to test a range of business models with its autonomous kit, starting with delivery partnerships with Domino's Pizza and Postmates, before digging deeper into its ridesharing ambitions that could involve the launch of a fully autonomous vehicle in 2021.

It turns out Ford wasn't kidding when it announced last summer that it would be teaming up with Domino's to trial a self-driving pizza delivery service, because the automaker on Wednesday said its self-driving cars are already on the streets of Miami and Miami Beach delivering pizzas, and more cities are to follow.

Randomly selected customers are offered the chance to have their pizzas delivered by one of the cars, and if they choose to participate they'll receive text-message instructions as the car approaches on how to retrieve their pizza pie.

A unique code will unlock the storage compartment, which is heated so that the pizza stays warm. But the pizza is no longer brought to your door,someone has to go out and fetch it.

An engineer is still behind the wheel at all times to take over in case of an emergency,but ford will launch its non driver assisted self-driving cars without a steering wheel or pedals in 2021.

Wow! Kicking humans out of job.
No housing allowance, health insurance,
leave bonuses and all.

Why won't machines take over.

But this is scary, considering the apocalypse thing.

Go to the uber thread and see what most drivers are saying. I wish our dear country was functioning well and we could have something like this here without having to rob a bank grin

Most drivers need to be kicked out. Or made to sit up with such competition.

honestly, as much as i love and value technology and improvements in technology, i beleive some ar jst unnecessary e.g. dis self driving car.

This will jst go on to increase the number of unemployment- taxi drivers, uber drivers and Pizza delivery guyz are gradually phasing out.

Tech advancement could be the death of the western world.

A terrorist group buys 10 of these cars with tinted glasses, load em up with all kinds of explosives, send them out to different strategic places where thousands of people gather and gbam!! - it happens.

I bet you, America is not producing these vehicles for use in their country but for mumu countries like ours to use!
Since when have they developed the self driving cars? Why are they still doing the test run and showing them off regularly, yet they have not fully integrated it into their system?
We don't need advanced technology/artificial intelligence in this country for now, we must evolve into that level and not just jump into using them

Stop thinking like you're in the stone age! The stupidity of our government and the trash kind of education we dish out to our citizens is the reason for the backwardness we experience today.
