Nowadays, even snack carts get automated.&nbsp;A Silicon Valley startup called <a href="https://www.tortoise.dev/">Tortoise</a> is introducing a remote-controlled robot that can sell a variety of goods, equipped with tap-to-pay containers on its back.In what is described as 15-second experience, customers can simply tap their credit cards and gain access to their purchase. Like a walking vending machine, the droids are deployed on sidewalks, increasing potential sales by targeting customers directly. The fleets are operated remotely by a team located in Mexico City who monitors every transaction.&nbsp;Retailers who utilize Tortoise’s service don’t have to pay anything for the robots, only a 10% remit of the gross sales. A small chum compared to the potential added revenue they can generate from these mobile “stores”.#VendingMachine #Tortoise #RemoteControl #robot
