I think for both of these companies, the path to profitability is eventually cutting out the human aspect for automated delivery. Self-driving cars is a good vision for the business and a very end-result. And for food delivery, I'm seeing more of those robotic carts that contain food driving around sidewalks in the Bay Area.

Got a link? I’ve never heard of this.

I presume they're referring to these:

It's pilot-scale, relies on human labor, and has some obvious problems which would break down immediately at scale. Plus they're annoying to navigate around. But they do exist.
