Taco Bell is going high-tech.

The fast-food chain is opening a giant new two-story location this week in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota that honestly could be straight out of "The Jetsons."

When you roll up to the drive-thru, you'll find yourself face-to-face with video technology to take your order rather than an employee with a headset.

Then, when your order is ready, you'll grab the food in one of four pick-up lanes with "food elevators" - picture the vacuum tube at bank drive-thrus, but for your Mexican pizza.

Taco Bell execs say the system aims to keep your wait time down to two minutes or less.
