General description
Beloved driving-needing individual, we got sometin' u want!
How many times did you stay bored at home as a child because your parents wouldn't take you somewhere?
How would you like food brought to your window by an automated quadcopter?
Don't you get upset when you want to upload to Instagram but you can't because you're driving?
Well... We have the ultimate solution!!!
You'll see cars driven better than by yourself!
You'll get (only just possibly) your food delivered by a robot!
