Flip the script!

Why have installations or stores at all? Just have a self driving and self making burrito trucks. You order one up, and on the way to you, it's being made in the back. Little hatch on the side, shoots out onto your doorstep or through your window.

Then, of course, you've now got an arms race of self making burrito trucks roaming about. Chipotle has one, Taco bell too. And, of course, if a Taco Bell truck knows that a Chipotle truck is next to it on the freeway, well, I mean, there's no one inside it of course. How could you prove that those nails came out of the bottom of the truck anyways?

Pretty soon, we've got burrito trucks duking it out, battle bots style, on the freeways and streets. And then you gotta deploy countermeasures, armor, etc. Just to get your burrito to you. Order up two from different companies and you've got dinner and a show.

And, honestly, is this not the future we all really want? Giant junk food filled mech-cars blasting each other at high speeds from the comfort of our couches.



Other people mentioned Zume pizza tried this in the past. Currently there is a company doing this San Mateo call Olhso:

They have not implemented the Mad Max style of vehicular combat you described, yet.


You're still thinking too small. Think back to the heady days of intense Java popularity and strain your brain to remember your Gang Of Four...

What's better than a Factory?

A FactoryFactory!

Why order a burrito that is made in a truck, when you can order a BurritoFactory that is constructed en route to you, to your exact specifications, and from then on, will make you endless burritos from the comfort of your own home?!?


That's small strategy thinking. You really need to use a service that creates factories to create factories that create factories. f3, our next startup! The goal it push it on the market via our tie in with oracle, all compliant Java Dev Kits will have to support f3.


Zume already tried with pizza in the Bay Area (though the trucks weren't self driving), IIRC.

Didn't work out, last I checked.

(Edited a bunch of times for doofusness.)


Is this how the fast food wars of Demolition Man started?


Maybe you don't order one up? Instead it's like an ice-cream truck but for grownups and it's burritos. The music could be mariachi chiptunes


Finally a vision of the future I can get behind
