Dominoes Pizza Sets to Launch Robot Delivery Service in Europe

This doesn’t feel right. At what point in our evolution as a species does the relegation of our species to be nothing more than builders of robots to eventually take our place begin to take on an overt anti human flavor? Where do we draw the line?

Clearly, a pizza delivery boy is not a very expensive proposition for $DPZ, but they felt it was necessary to eliminate that expense altogether by working with Starship Technologies to supplant them.

Coming soon to people who love horrible pizza in Germany and the Netherlands, Dominoes will begin utilizing robotic, self driving, robots to deliver their provisions.

Pizzas will now be delivered by way of robot to select European customers who live within 1 mile of their local Dominoes shoppe.

“Dependent on size, we can carry up to eight pizzas on a delivery or a variety of combinations of pizzas, sides and cold drinks or dessert products,” the company said.

Starship was founded by the former founders of Skype, naturally.

Aside from the Starship robots, Dominoes is testing drones in New Zealand.

“With our growth plans over the next five to 10 years, we simply won’t have enough delivery drivers if we do not look to add to our fleet through initiatives such as this,” Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Chief Executive Officer Don Meij said in a statement.


Fuck you

I know, don’t stand in the way of progress.

When can we start automating the roles of C level executives, in order to truly cost save at our fine corporate giants?

    There’s going to be a lot of stolen pizza in Euroland. If you want to absolutely make sure you get your pizza, get bacon on it.

    Are you guys supporters of Trumps unwinding of the Clean Power Plan? How about his business dealings with the Russian mob?

      For every political comment you should also offer a market / trading / investing comment

        It’s true, that would be twice the comedy and doubly pathetic.

        Stock traders are parasites of the financial system, at least pizza delivery robots contribute something to society. How’s that?

          Hey look we have found common ground. I happen to agree, transaction costs should be much higher so people are incentivized to buy stocks not trade them (i.e. invest vs speculate).

      Yes and yes.

      Removing the abomination that is the Clean Power Plan will be a huge boon to Americans, especially the poorest who suffer most from this kind of “clean (i.e. retardedly expensive) energy” horseshit.

      As for his “dealings” with Russia… it must be nice to live in your head. What do you do to block out all the information that doesn’t fit with your ideology?

    Common now, nothing could possible go wrong. What’s the problem with having a young, mostly unemployed male population with the means to quickly organize via the internet? I defy you to name one bad thing that could possibly happen.

    Better start WW3 quick to get that draft on the go.
