Managing Director Amarita Natt was quoted in an article discussing automation for Lifewire: How Autonomous Food Delivery Could Hurt Workers.

A quick quote from Dr. Natt: “Automated delivery is actually quite challenging on a number of levels. It’s also going to take a while for this technology to be more cost-efficient than humans, I suspect, giving some time for people to find alternative employment options.”

Here are the articles key takeaways:

• Grubhub and Yandex announced a partnership that will offer autonomous food delivery services to select US college campuses.
• The deliveries are set to launch this fall, but will likely be limited to areas with higher levels of walkability.
• Experts say the automation of jobs is unavoidable, but there are things workers and companies can do to ensure the coming changes are good for humans.
