Foremost among them: Can they deliver pizza?
That’s what Domino’s and Ford will try to find out in the coming weeks when they deploy a jointly-developed self-driving car into the streets of Ann Arbor, Mich., that’s equipped with a heated compartment hidden behind the passenger side rear window that rolls down and dishes out orders when a customer enters an access code into a tablet installed on the side of the vehicle.

Are they comfortable retrieving their pizza and wings from the modern equivalent of Herbie the Love Bug? Is curbside drop-off OK, or should the car pull into the driveway so they don’t have to drag their lazy selves to the street? Behavioral scientists have much to learn.
Ford is planning to launch a fleet of driverless livery cars in 2019, but the company’s new CEO, Jim Hackett, recently told The Detroit News he sees many more opportunities for the technology than as a chauffeur.
