Being trialled in Barnsley https://www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampprojec...7993102&csi=0&referrer=https://www.google.com The sceptic in me says the trial won't go well.
I don't think I've ever participated in an act of vandalism in my entire life. But looking at that thing, even I want to kick it over. What do they think a gang of teenagers will do?
Of all the worlds ills we could choose to fix, we decide that a robot should lob your parcel on the floor rather than a human being. Genius.
Good. My Evri delivery driver keeps claiming there is a problem "accessing my address" if there's a delivery scheduled after 5pm. I doubt these robots fúck off down the pub at 4.30pm.
I would guess some of the Evri delivery drivers I’ve seen have never been in, nor would step inside, a pub. Nothing at all wrong with that of course choose whatever the reason is.
I get the odd SMS now and then from them saying driver unable to deliver/address needs updating etc etc. These are scam messages because I’m not an online shopper as a rule (once every couple of years maybe?)
Saw it on the local news the other night. We burst out laughing as when it's dropping the parcel, it looks for all the world like a dog having a sh it. The way it was able to climb up into the back of the van was genius though.
A Co-op near us has these. They look absolutely ridiculous moving along and go at about the speed of a snail. It works differently though as it says the Barnsley one will come out of the back of a van which will have the driver in who can presumably keep watch, the Co-op ones just sit outside the shop all day unattended until they are used.
