The restaurant employee brings the food to the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle is programmed with an address that is out in the boondocks with no internet. The customer receives the uber delivery by retrieving it from the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle shows food as delivered but since there is no internet out in the boondocks, it shows as a driver cancel. Autonomous vehicle goes back to restaurant to pick up delivery. Restaurant employee brings food to autonomous vehicle. The vehicle is programmed with an address that is out in the boondocks with no internet. The customer receives the food. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

I bet Uber will loose even more money with self driving cars.

Self driving car = $30k + maintenance + control center + software team + etc.
I bet average order delivered will lower than ants because restaurant worker will forget or ignore the car as nobody is waiting at the counter to constantly reminding them someone is waiting.

Ant = $3-5 per trip, no maintenance to vehicle whatsoever.
