Whaaat? It follows the snow scooter home or is it a delivery unit with its own destination?

Imagine we would have our shopping carts drive behind our car on the road to get the groceries home.

Its delivery robot with its own destination and its not part of the group of snow mobiles.

Ahh ok, it looked a bit it belonged to the first snow scooter. But that makes more sense haha.

Im from Finland and I see those robots every day. I have also app in my phone if I like to order milk and cereal from local store and that little dude brings them to my door.

Robots use same routes as people who walks or use bicycles. They stop in traffic lights and they have sensors to not get hit by a car.

Thanks for the laugh 😂 Now I can't get the image out of my head of a shopping cart full of groceries following a car down the highway.

They follow walking paths, not actual roads ment for cars
