An intrepid Louisville, Kentucky delivery driver delivered his pizzas in spite of the fact that he was carjacked and stabbed in the back. Coincidentally, and luckily for him, his destination was the emergency room of a local hospital. He managed to bring the pizzas into the building to make the delivery before collapsing from his wound. According to local news station WKLY, he is in stable condition and recovering well.
So far, it seems like this new "pizza robot" is only being introduced in New Zealand. According to a Facebook post by Domino's, the new delivery system, that they call DRU, isn't out in full force but it's getting there:
DRU has a passion for delivering piping hot meals and a nice warm smile to customers. While he won't be taking to the streets tomorrow, he is enjoying his early progress as a prototype and giving customers a glimpse into the future of what is possible.
This idea seems very similar to an April Fools day campaign that Domino's UK ran last year. Could that be what started this project?
Little Caesar's? Psshh. The Papa John's model is much more user-friendly.
In 2013, we were promised flying cars. Somewhere along the way, someone took that memo and scribbled all over it as a practical joke. Science took the graffiti seriously, and now we have flying pizza delivery drones instead. Thanks, Science.
