A Supermarket Concept That You Drive Around Inside Of
It's not a drive-thru. It's literally a drive-around-inside-of
Here's a concept I'm surprised didn't come from America: A drive-in supermarket. It's another fascinating patent application from Semenov Dahir Kurmanbievich, the Russian inventor behind the in-mouth CNC mill.
The video could definitely use some editing, but if you stick it out to the end, you'll see the floors above and Semenov's idea of how the workers would keep all of those stations stocked:
Obviously this concept, if realized, ought be limited to zero-emissions cars. Tesla should put one of these up as a way to discriminate against "gassies," who will have to go elsewhere and shop on foot, the old-fashioned way.

i hope any who does this dies of a cholestorol-related stroke behind the wheel.
Nice to know I wasn't the only person thinking this. Hahaha.
apart from the "out of the box" thinking i don't like the usability at all.
1. as mentioned, the exhaust fumes would not be nice to do shopping in, especially with fresh produce around.
2. if you stay in the car and get al your products through the window, your arm will hurt from lifting/reaching that far away from your body (after several products) (car windows don't sit well in armpits, remember that time you just couldn't reach the ticket machine at the car park from your window? That feeling times the amount of products you want to buy, not good right?)
3. you will be annoyed by the speed of the trays, imagine forgetting something at the start after you've gone through half of the thing, walking in back in a normal supermarket doesn't feel that annoyoing, keeping 1 button pressed and waiting for something to come to you, does.
4. Products will be hard to find, especially if you put something back on another shelf after deciding you want buy something else. The order of the trays will get messed up
5. put back a product but let it stick out from the shelf, the system gets jammed
6. if the machines to refill the other machines are first ordered by product, and then completely mixed up, then why sort them in the first place? therefore the top floor is completely unnecessary, moreover you don't want deliveries on your top floor because trucks have heavier loads than cars, making construction harder
But hey, finding problems is easier than finding new and different ways to solve something, so credits to that :)
Hmmm it's an 'fun'concept. But hardly viable. It seems to be very labour intensive - with each booth needing a human. Also as previous post have indicated people's indecision will create huge lines!
If anyone drives through this the way I walk, pacing back and forth between choices, there's going to be an accident.
