It's like deliveroo. You now have a "premium" option so the driver doesn't make 3 stops before you and your food doesn't arrive cold and 30min late. Premium rides where you can see the street by the window coming!
The "priority" boarding on budget airlines is already like that and I'd be surprised if there isn't already a "VIP priority" boarding for an extra fee.
Well, I would assume that everyone having premium would mean that the price would need to cover each delivery going only to one person at a time, which does sound sustainable to me.
In the longer term though, I wonder if we could have mobile (robotically operated?) kitchens, optimized to finish preparing the dish just as they're about to arrive at your doorstep.
• Main-menu is neither the default or top menu, but can be accessed from:
• Top menu -> Other services -> Main menu
• “Cancel purchase” is conveniently located on the touch screen between “Double order” and “Disable purchase cancellation”
• Please use the cancel purchase pin for your particular order which was accessible from within the ads “more info” option, prior to you purchase event. We value your purchase security.
• These instructions, as all others, are included in this very exhaustive and complete service agreement, which you can agree to when you activate this vehicle.
• If you didn’t read these service terms prior to activation, no matter, the next section of these service terms provides instructions for accessing these service terms again. Including these, and the next section’s instructions, if you need to review them.
So happy to hear the designer of World Quester 2's user interface have finally landed a job in the automotive industry. I wonder what happens to the Jeep when you accidentally open up your Space Inventory.
That probably won't happen because it interferes with the fundamental function of the car, which is to take you from the place you started to the place you want to go. It would be annoying enough that the car company would lose sales to car companies whose cars do not do that.
What they might do though is play with the route. Say I tell my self-driving car to take me to the grocery store. There might be several routes it can take. It might infer from the destination that I'm going to buy groceries, and purposefully pick a route that takes me past billboards that advertise for things at that store.
It would be easy for the rider to never notice that what advertising is on a route is influencing route choice because they will be expecting variable routes. They will just assume the variability is due to factors like current traffic.
