Two Chick-Fil-A locations in Texas will now be using self-driving vehicles for deliveries, according to KXAN.
According to a release from Refraction AI, the company will be testing the deliveries in downtown Austin.
Luke Steigmeyer, an operator at the 6th & Congress Chick-Fil-A, said:
"Autonomous delivery using Refraction's robots creates an exciting new opportunity to extend the Chick-Fil-A experience to a growing number of delivery guests."
After the initial test delivery, both Chick-Fil-A and Refraction AI plan to continue with the autonomous deliveries in the Austin area.
According to Refraction AI, the Chick-Fil-A on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will have the self-driving vehicles in late June.
