The Estonian delivery startup Starship uses tiny self-driving robots. I wonder if those can be made cost-efficient.

They launched around me last month at around 50 cents per delivery and I used it quite a bit. Now that the introductory period is over and the fee is 1.50, I just get off my ass and walk.

The funny thing is if they launched with $2.50 delivery and cut the price to $1.50, I think many people would feel differently about the current price.

They would not have even got off the ground at 2.50. Remember that salaries in Europe are generally lower than in the USA.
