Since there are still technical and legislative challenges to overcome regarding the widespread use of aerial delivery drones, ground-based models may actually end up beating them to entering frequent service. One of the latest to hit our radar is the two-wheeled self-balancing YAPE, from Italy's e-novia.
Similar in form and function to Piaggio Fast Forward's Gita, YAPE uses GPS, video cameras and range-finding lasers to autonomously travel down city streets, avoiding obstacles such as potholes and pedestrians as it does so. It also wirelessly accesses sensors placed around the city, to monitor things such as traffic light status and traffic flow.
