Tesco tests robo-deliveries with Starship
Supermarket Tesco has been the testing the use of Starship Technologies’ delivery robots in London. Commenting on the tests, Tesco said: “We are always looking at new ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers.
“We carried out a one-off trial as part of our Tesco Now initiative in partnership with a technology company. We learnt a great deal from this trial and we’ll be reviewing feedback before deciding our next steps.”
The “Tesco Now” initiative is the new one-hour delivery service that the supermarket giant is rolling out in London – and which has been seen as response to Amazon’s Prime Now offering.
