The point of the concept is to highlight areas where autonomy can be implemented above and beyond everybody's current concepts. Autonomous delivery vans aren't even things of the future anymore -- they're already dropping off groceries in Arizona. But when the van arrives, the recipient still needs to walk outside and grab the bags. Continental's solution eliminates that need by replacing human effort with cute little robo-doggos.

"The challenges to a delivery robot parallel what we already solve for in automated vehicles," said Jeremy McClain, director of systems & technology for Continental North America, in a statement. "Plus, delivery robots will require technology that is just as advanced and robust as our automotive solutions."
