In the not too distant future. It will be something more akin to:
1) Fridge finds several items low and proceeds to order groceries.
2) Website schedules car to be driven to store.
3) Store Robot packs groceries and finds car in car-park.
4) Negotiation between Car and Robot occurs, groceries placed in trunk.
5) Car drives off home.
6) Car notifies domestic robot that groceries have arrived.
7) Groceries put into fridge by domestic robot.
8) Lazy human requests that domestic robot gets them a can of beer. Unaware that the whole process occurred.

- tomatotomato37 8y agoLet's be realistic here 1) Fridge finds several items completely empty and proceeds to order groceries at markup 2) Website schedules car to be driven to store at 2:00 am based on federal congestion laws regarding autonomous vehicles 3) Next day at opening store robot takes groceries packed by union worker to car park queue, gets around to your vehicle an hour later 4) Negotiation between Car, Robot, and rent-seeking middleman occurs, groceries violently placed in trunk 5) Car drives off home 6) Car notifies human that groceries have arrived, human notifies domestic robot groceries have arrived 7) Domestic robot places most of the groceries in the fridge but can't find space for the eggs 8) Lazy human requests that domestic robot gets them a can of beer. Is given eggs instead Edit: Didn't like last line
- paulie_a 8y agoI've had a smart fridge, I will never own one again, my fridge should not need a reboot. I will also not buy Samsung again. They use a bunch of custom software for no reason.
