A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about the possibility of seeing a self driving store. It turns out, the concept is much closer than I initially thought.

Wheelys Moby Mart is a concept for a fully automated self-driving vehicle. It’s a convenience store that is solar powered. You can summon it with your mobile phone, grab what you need, and send it on it’s way.

Will people get stuck in a store if their phone runs out of batteries while they’re purchasing a product? Will bad guys be able to hitch a ride on one of these and attack unsuspecting customers? Unlikely, but with this new form of technology, questions like these are bound to arise and product makers need to think of the answers that the customers want to hear.

Either way, I’m loving the design and the look of the product. I’m excited to see what other industries will pop up now that we have self-driving technology in our fingertips.

Looking forward to the future, the possibilities are endless.
