Maybe I am missing something — But what problem is it really solving? They want a hamburger quicker? I personally enjoy the dichotomy between the burbs and city personally especially in Atlanta.

I don’t think quicker is necessarily the motivation. But currently they’re likely using DoorDash which requires a human and a very large automobile so I think it’s an optimization of that. It may also be quicker since it can more effectively work in parallel

It seems to me like the delivery bots you may see around some places. Except those things are pretty slow and I feel like they’re always involved in accidents with automobiles.
