Pizza chain Domino's has plans to launch a pilot programme that will use robots to deliver pizzas in select cities in Germany and the Netherlands. The company is working with German logistics firm DHL on the project, which it says could be ready for delivery by 2020. The pizza chain has significant growth plans in the next five to 10 years, and "simply won’t have enough delivery drivers" if it doesn't explore alternate delivery options, according to a company statement.
