GOOGLE CARS SELF-DRIVE ITSELF TO WALMART SUPERMARKET IN SPOOR
A popular google's sister company Waymo has declare a trial which it's self-driving cars will carry shoppers to and from a nearby Walmart store to pick up groceries.
For the time being, the pilots is being limited to 400-plus members of its first programme in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nonetheless, it indicates how the tech giant thinks the autonomous cars/vehicles could be deployed if and when they exit the experimental stage. An expert said cost would be key. The only word on pricing so far is a promise to offer participators discounts when they order goods via Walmart's Online Grocery pickup service as part of the deal. “If this is rolled out properly you would expect there to be a reasonably high threshold in terms of the price and spend commitment to justify the service.” statement made by Julie Palmer, a retail expert at the consultancy Begbies Traymor.
“you'd expect it to be limited to shoppers buying higher value items.”
