Though humankind"s reign over Earth is the merest blink of an eye on the planet"s lengthy timeline (we"ve only been around for around 0.004 per cent of the earth"s history), our impact has been quite profound.Not least because humans are responsible for, amongst many great things, V8s and pizza. Connecting the obvious dots, we move to a hugely important step for our species. Ford has announced that it is teaming up with Domino"s to work on self-driving cars to help deliver pizza.Let"s just stop and ruminate on that for a moment. Self-driving pizza delivery cars. To misquote an oft-used phrase, things" just got real.Over the next few weeks across Ann Arbor in Michigan, in the United States, randomly selected Domino"s customers will get the opportunity to have their order serviced via a Ford Fusion Hybrid Autonomous Research Vehicle.The car will have a Ford safety engineer on board, mind, along with a few researchers, too. Hopefully not eating your pizza. Customers can even track the car through GPS on the Domino"s app, and receive texts when the car is near, along with instructions on how to retrieve their food.
