We’ve all seen Optimus Prime; now it might just be time for Amazon Prime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon has begun testing out deliveries using self-driving robots. “We\u2019ve been hard at work developing a new, fully-electric delivery system \u2013 Amazon Scout \u2013 designed to safely get packages to customers using autonomous delivery devices,” the company said<\/span> <\/a>in a statement. “These devices were created by Amazon, are the size of a small cooler, and roll along sidewalks at a walking pace,” it added.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a video that Amazon had also shared, the blue-coloured robot can be seen rolling on the sidewalk, crossing roads at pedestrian crossing, and eventually stopping at the house where it’s supposed to make the delivery. The robot presumably alerts the occupant of the home in some fashion, following which they can step out and retrieve their package from its innards.<\/span><\/p>\n
