Pizza Hut teams with FedEx to test autonomous pizza delivery

Pizza Hut is collaborating with FedEx for a new autonomous delivery device aimed to automate local delivery. The FedEx delivery robot is in development by FedEx and the DEKA Research and Development Corp., and is equipped with technology that allows it to navigate unpaved surfaces, curbs, and even steps to deliver a door-to-door delivery experience. Testing of the bot is slated to begin this summer in select American markets pending various city approvals.
