I fucking love this because it leaves everybody with one of two conclusions. One, AI isn’t capable of doing the simplest of jobs. or Two, working a drive thru is actually quite complex and difficult and humans that master it are more capable than trillion dollar software.
Or C: taking orders is easy and AI is on the verge of doing it better than a human any day now, just give us another billion dollars bro.

I haven’t gone through a drive-through in three years, but McDonald’s tried this and it was atrocious. Every time I tried it it did not work and a human had to be pinged in.
Never mind AI; drive-throughs themselves are absolutely shit-tier urbanism and ought to be outlawed.
McDonalds did this 3 yrs ago?
Yup, at least in major cities they were.
Same reason why having call centres to run drive throughs doesn’t work. It just feels wrong for people and if it fucks up you can’t just fix it like human drive through fuckups
