Residents of the Chinese city of Hefei now have their very own traveling convenience store, selling everything from candy to veggies. Swedish start-up Wheelys developed the Moby Mart in cooperation with Hefei University and retail company Himalafy. Incredibly, the Moby Mart store operates 24/7 and all without any humans manning the store. Moby Mart offers basic groceries, such as milk, bread, fruit and coffee, which are only available to customers which have downloaded the Moby Mart app. Customers connect their card to the app so that Moby Mart technolgy can scan their purchase and charge them automatically. The app even allows customers to call the store to their location. Could this be the future of grocery shopping?

Lyft is developing a delivery service to directly take on Uber Eats. The company announced the news during a Tuesday call with investors. The delivery service is still in its "very early stages." Lyft's service won't be a consumer-facing platform like Uber's business. Uber's growing delivery division has been a bonus to the company's business during the pandemic. Rides remain at a fraction of normal levels.
Uber Eats have unveiled their new drone, with rotating wings, which the company hope will stop food spillages.
Uber Air will be tested in Melbourne, Australia, following in the footsteps of Dallas and Los Angeles.
