  • Ford (NYSE:F) and Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) plan to use self-driving pizza delivery cars in Michigan as part of a limited test of how consumers respond to the concept.
  • Select customers will have the option to have their pizzas delivered via an autonomous Ford Fusion hybrid, with a safety engineer handling the last 50 feet of the pizza exchange.
  • Ford and Domino's completed preliminary testing of the delivery process using the vehicle in self-driving mode at Mcity.
  • "We're interested to learn what people think about this type of delivery," says Domino's USA President Russell Weiner.
  • "As we increase our understanding of the business opportunity for self-driving vehicles to support the movement of people and goods, we're pleased to have Domino's join us in this important part of the development process," says Ford Autonomus/EV VP Sherif Marakby.
