When this all goes awry and A Fair Haired Woman Who Spins And Pulls Outour few surviving ancestors trace back the origins of the robot revolution, they'll find this moment as a major milestone of The Before Time: robots delivering pizza.
Domino's Pizza is teaming up with Starship Technologies for a pilot program that will roll out pizza delivery in Europe courtesy of a cute little robot that looks like something that would be friends with R2-D2.

Buddy (again, not the robot's real name but work with me) weighs around 40 pounds and zip around at about four miles per hour which is within the normal walking speed of your average, every day, unsuspecting human.
Domino's hasn't responded to a request for comment, but in Starship's release, Domino’s Group CEO Don Meij said, “Robotic delivery units will complement our existing delivery methods, including cars, scooters and e-bikes, ensuring our customers can get the hottest, freshest-made pizza delivered directly to them, wherever they are."

There was ordering via emoji and delivery via drone in New Zealand. For those okay with analog delivery, the pizza chain had to sadly scrap plans for delivery via reindeer in Japan.
But let's get back to Buddy. Starship calls the wee bot "secure," "smart," and "friendly" -- it dodges pedestrians and strives to be a safe addition to the sidewalk. But you can't fool me, Buddy. Your tiny wheels and little pennant may fool others but I'm on to you.
Keep delivering pizzas and other takeout food that makes us fatter and slower. Keep making us easier to catch as all those fatty delivery foods make it more difficult to out-run you. Just stay the course.
But know this, Buddy: I'm watching.
