WHY NOT A BOT? ADJUSTER BOTS FOR CONNECTED CARS
We’re not quite there yet. But there is a path to get there—probably in only a few years.
But what more serious accidents which involve damage to a car’s mechanical systems?
Here is one element of an Adjuster Bot solution: electonic control units, ECUs. For years, automobiles have been manufactured with dozens ECUs which control, monitor, and diagnose a broad away of systems within the vehicle, including its engine, power train, brakes, steering, airbags, electronic stability control. Information from ECUs can be accessed from vehicle’s On-board Diagnostic Port (OBD-II). The primary purpose of the OBD-II is to enable maintenance and repair of the various systems. (Telematics devices–aka dongles–plugged into the OBD-II port have been the primary method to gather and transmit telematics data to insurers.)
A second critical piece of the puzzle falls into place: communication. Automobile manufacturers are racing towards creating connected cars—typically using 3G or even 4G LTE cellular modems.
So this is what an automobile Adjuster Bot ecosystem would look like:
- A cellular modem which tells the Adjuster Bot that an accident has occurred
- And transmits data from ECUs describing the functional/non-functional status of major car systems
- The AI-powered Adjuster Bot which, through deep learning, identifies the probability of repairing or replacing components within those systems; and which:
- Alerts police and/or medical assistance as warranted (e.g. if airbags deployed)
- Queries repair estimation and total loss systems
- Integrates with the insurer’s Direct Repair Program
- Creates an initial estimate of cost and time to repair
- Presents a customized video to the driver, describing:
- Arrival of tow trucks, transportation to a rental car facility, the split of insurer and policyholders financial responsibility; links to download a claimant app

Domino’s all set to begin delivery of pizzas using autonomous Starship robots this summer
There’s no doubt that autonomous vehicles will flood the roads in the coming years. But, autonomous robots are now also gearing up to reign over the sidewalks, thanks to Starship Technologies and Domino’s Pizza. These two giants have inked a partnership where an autonomous shopping cart-style delivery robot from the latter will ferry the former’s hot cheesy pizzas to customers.
Under this partnership, the Estonia-based ground robotics startup will begin delivering pizzas to customers in Hamburg, Germany this summer. Domino’s expects autonomous deliveries to begin in the next two months and will be available to customers who’ll decide to opt-in for the said delivery method. Otherwise, your pizza would be delivered via regular methods.
Also, this autonomous delivery method will currently be made available to customers residing in a one-mile radius of select Domino’s outlets. In this delivery experiment, the Starship robots carrying your piping hot orders will traverse the sidewalks on its own but will be accompanied by a human to monitor in case something goes wrong. It will also be important to educate people about the delivery robots as there are high chances of vandalism and violence.

LOL can you tell me how until I see broken down (graffitied) bots in my street, cheersAs I was reviewing this article, one line jumped out at me, "Starship robots carrying your piping hot orders will traverse the sidewalks on its own but will be accompanied by a human to monitor in case something goes wrong. It will also be important to educate people about the delivery robots as there are high chances of vandalism and violence."
As more delivery robots begin to hit the streets, they are going to be subject not only to accidental damage from motor vehicles and pedestrians but also to danger from theft and vandalism. I predict a whole robot licensing, tracking, recovery, and repair industry will evolve around these bots. (Kinda like a high-tech version of the guys who currently go around in my neighborhood and recover and repair shopping carts.) Anyway, to this end I'm holding some related names: (coms)
Robot Tracking
Robo Tracking
Bot Certification
Robot Registrations
Bot License
Bot Repairs
Robot Recovery

I just can't see it being that quick, I also imagine fat kids sitting on the bots for fun !! Perhaps drones may roll out a bit quicker but I am skeptical on the bots in the streets ....unless RoboCop is there to escort themAdmittedly, it sounds like Science Fiction... (like self-driving cars, virtual reality and a pocket-sized device you can carry around in your pocket that lets you communicate with everyone on the planet, access all worldwide information and which will actually talk to you... wait, is that my iPhone I hear ringing... )
Seriously, though, I think the timeline for wide-scale adoption of delivery bots and drones is 5-7 years....
