- Ford Motor Co said on Wednesday it was partnering with walking robots maker Agility Robotics as it designs a planned fleet of self-driving delivery vans that will drop packages at the doorsteps of people’s homes.

It launched a self-driving pilot with delivery partners including Domino’s in Miami last year, and it said it was working on the best way to integrate Agility’s two-legged robot, Digit, into future vans. “If we can free people up to focus less on the logistics of making deliveries, they can turn their time and effort to things that really need their attention.”

I'd like robots better with heads. I know they'll just be pretend heads, but they'll look much less creepy.

Now, arm it with a vacuum cleaner and have it clean my apartment as well.....

I've seen this movie and I will not be answering the door.

Chances of digit being stolen along with the package it’s delivering: %239

nope

He looks like Gumby!!! Lol!

Just don't send him to Ice T's house FINALLEVEL
