Robot Delivers Packages Through Sewers | Autopia | Wired.com: "Robot Delivers Packages Through Sewers"
It’s 2020, and cities are so overcrowded that it’s impossible to deliver packages. UPS trucks have nowhere to double-park, and obnoxious bike messengers can’t even ride on pedestrian-jammed sidewalks. How, then, can important parcels reach their destinations in a squalid megalopolis of the future? Through the sewers, of course.
The brainchild of designer Phillip Hermes, the Urban Mole is a capsule that travels through existing networks of underground pipes in order to instantly transport packages as diverse as groceries, signed documents and any title that appears on Oprah’s Book Club. The Mole frees up above-ground roadways formore important matters, like mobilizing armies against the cyborgs that will inevitably plague our future cities.
