Your next pizza from Domino's could be delivered by a robot

Domino's, the largest pizza chain in the world (based on global sales), and autonomous vehicle startup Nuro have partnered to launch a pilot program in Houston to delivery pizzas using self-driving robot cars. A limited number of customers ordering online from Domino's in Woodland Heights, located at 3209 Houston Ave., can choose to have their pizza delivered by Nuro's R2, which is the first completely autonomous on-road delivery vehicle with regulatory approval by the U.S. Department of Transportation to operate with no occupants inside.

Customers who want to dive headfirst into a future where everything is robotic and human interaction is minimized (sorry, been reading too many dystopian books lately), will have to prepay for their food online, choose the autonomous delivery option, then watch their text messages for updates on the robot's location. When it arrives, they will use a PIN to open the 'bot and retrieve their hot pie.
