Wooden pallet with drive train similar to a mobility chair, and GPS/map guidance, and some sensors. Just load it up, and enter the destination. Good for non-time sensitive local delivery.
Got the idea from watching a person "road" a scissor lift 2 miles to the rental yard, because he was to cheap
to pay for pickup. We joked he could clamp the forward switch, and have a pint in the bar before it reached the next intersection.

[2 fries] is right about the theft problem.... also, kids will proabably ride the things ..... |
|

AGVs like this, which follow a buried wire, have been used in industrial applications for many years. A fully autonomous unit using GPS is probably quite practical ..... but it's going to be quite a high value piece of kit ..... some sort of smart security will be needed. |

Enclose it in a large heavy sphere, and it could slowly tumble to its destination, contents secured inside. Boulder Freight, when it absolutely has to be there in a swath. |
