An Indian woman in the US captured her parents' adorable reaction after they encountered a food delivery robot for the first time. The couple appeared puzzled and amused as the small autonomous vehicle quietly rolled past them on a pavement, prompting them to turn around for a second look.
The wholesome moment was shared on Instagram by Priyanka, who was taking her parents around India Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, when they came across the delivery robot. In the video, Priyanka's parents can be seen walking along the street when the robot passes them on the pedestrian walkway. Both immediately turn around to watch it, visibly surprised by the sight of a small, driverless machine making its way down the street.
"The pure shock, confusion, and excitement on their faces... they couldn't believe a little box on wheels was delivering food all by itself! Mummy Papa like, 'What on earth is that?!' and amazed by the technology," Priyanka wrote in the caption. She also said that the moment was an "absolute core memory".
