Controled from a human control-room assisted by GPS and on car cameras, these supermarket-cart sized RC cars will replace the need for expensive delivery people driving heavy cars or endangering themselves in traffic.
People would buy an RC-Cart and have it driven from their house to any store and
back. Basically the idea is having "large RC cars" (smaller than real cars, but larger than toy model cars) join urban traffic.
Next stages of course are to automate the process, and to have these cars drive people too.

Do they sing when they deliver? |

Larger cars could be used as taxis.
Thus you eliminate the need for the taxi driver baking in the sun all day. Instead she buys a 'home service' RC, via ADSL, (not the web, so that the car does not accidentally lose conact with control) and controls the taxi from afar. Laws will have to be written on responsibility of driver, once car is in motion. |
