Not even coronavirus can come between you and your fried chicken.
KFC China has unveiled autonomous 5G vehicles in several areas of China. These autonomous trucks let people purchase KFC without having contact with other people, thus reducing the spread of COVID-19, according to SoyaCincau.
The self-driving trucks can be found in Shanghai. To order, customers simply had to pick their meals off a touchscreen tablet. Payment is then made through scanning a QR code, and the order will be ready to collect once payment is done.
The vehicles are manufactured and designed by tech company Neolix, a Beijing-based delivery shuttle company that have managed to raise US$29 million to produce these trucks. The company is also said to be working with Pizza Hut to produce a fleet for the pizza chain as well.
思いがけず反応が多いので。場所は上海の市内の少し外れの地下鉄駅前の交差点。無人販売車は2台あって1台がKFC。たぶん朝〜昼の時間帯のみ（帰りには見かけない）。支払いはQRコード決済。決済完了したら扉が開く仕組み。 https://t.co/Wvwl2y4slP pic.twitter.com/8j14HTRF5j
