Tesla will reportedly take customers on a test drive to show off its Full Self-Driving tech
If you're in North America, a Tesla staff member will show you how the automaker's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology works before you can take your car home, according to Bloomberg. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reportedly issued a memo that requires Tesla stores in the region to install and activate its latest Full Self-Driving software and then take customers on a short test ride before handing over a vehicle. He added that "almost no one actually realizes how well (supervised) FSD actually works" and that he's making the demonstration a "hard requirement," even though he knows it will slow down delivery. To enjoy Tesla's FSD technology, you'd have to pay 12,000 to unlock it on top of what you paid for the car itself. It comes with all of the company's Autopilot features, as well as the ability to use autosteer on city streets and to activate your vehicle's capability to identify stop signs and traffic lights so it can automatically slow your vehicle to stop on approach.

AI in the food industry, according to Tait, will also assist with automating reservations and customer service questions, which would ease workloads for human employees and restaurant owners. While the tech will also help restaurants "better manage stock and not over order" by analyzing "what products are selling well and detect and respond to consumer demand for a specific product."

This KFC in China now uses robots to take customers' orders
A KFC restaurant in China is now using two robots to help take customers' orders. KFC said it enlisted the robots in its concept store in Shanghai to bring a fun and high-tech element to the dining experience. The store is still largely run and staffed by humans who prepare food and take orders. But customers also have the option of carrying on a conversation with one of the robots to place and pay for their order. The robots, developed by the Chinese tech company Baidu, specialize in understanding human speech.
