After work, you get some exercise on the way home via a moving gym. Then a mobile grocery store stops right in front of your door when you arrive home. You select fresh vegetables and ingredients to cook a delicious dinner. PIX claims it will be the first in China to make this convenient future possible. The start-up was incubated in Silicon Valley and is based in the Guiyang Hi-tech Industrial Development Area in Southwest China's Guizhou Province.
