Wisconsin has joined the land of autonomous delivery. If you live in the Badger State,Watch Fast And Furious Online you can now legally have your award-winning cheeses delivered to you 20 pounds at a time inside Starship Technologies' delivery bots.

The only stipulation is that the bots weigh 80 pounds or less, and a human must be in position to take control of the machine in case the six-wheeled pods try to steal a customer's cheese and/or beer.
Starship bots weigh 40 pounds on their own and can carry 20 pounds of supplies, about the equivalent of 20 bricks of Widmer's 10-year aged cheddar cheese. Or four six-packs of Brenner Brewing's bacon bomb rauchbier, because even though I'm not sure about bacon-tasting beer, I'm pretty sure it would go well with cheese. Or maybe you should get two six-packs and 10 pounds of cheese, and then just not move for a while.
If three's a trend, then Starship delivery bots are now on a literal roll. Virginia was the first to allow them, followed by Idaho. It remains unclear, however, when those robots might first appear walking alongside people. As long as they have beer and cheese, we welcome them.
