BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Starship Technologies has created a delivery robot that drives itself, and can carry 20-25 pounds up to two miles away. A brood of sidewalk drones could be rolling around the nation’s capital within a year. Executives from Starship Technologies, with roots in Estonia and London, say their goal is to unleash a platoon of “smart, friendly robots” that will ply sidewalks along with pedestrians to make local deliveries of letters and/or small packages. The U.S. Postal Service stated that they will consider the new product as long as it can be modified to have a more “human element”, by preprogramming it to deliver 10% of the mail to the wrong address.
