The future is now! Self-driving pizza delivery cars could soon be a reality

While we're all stuck living in 2017, the innovative folks over at Domino's and Ford are living in 3017.

The companies have teamed up to create the world's first self-driving pizza delivery car and we are very, very intrigued.

This September, randomly selected customers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will have the chance to take part in the service's first ever American trial run.

During the tests, the fully automated vehicles will be monitored by a saftey engineer who will be on-hand to take the wheel if something goes wrong, while researchers will observe how customers react to the futuristic delivery method.

Although the technology is still in the development stages, Domino's and Ford say that a driverless future is just a few years away.

So, how does it all work?

Well, each customer will receive a delivery code based on the last four digits of their phone number, which they will then use to unlock a “heatwave compartment” once the car has arrived.

Researchers hope the trail will answer some important questions about customer experience, including how far they are willing to walk to meet the car and how they interact with the vehicle's unlocking system.

No word on when/ if the system will be introduced to all Domino's stores, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Welcome to the future, ladies.
