First robot delivery drivers start work at Silicon Valley campus

Six-wheeled robots will deliver food and coffee across a Silicon Valley office park in first commercial use of the technology - and whole cities could be next

Starship Technologies, an autonomous delivery startup created in 2014 by two Skype co-founders, has been in public testing mode in 20 countries around the world since 2015. Now the company says it is ready for its first "major commercial rollout".
