Why don't we have a system under our house where stuff is automatically delivered?
Personally I could design a automated forklift system and I know it would work. When I say design, I mean the theory craft of it and the basics on how to do it, not the automation system.

It wouldn't be that complicated and I'm honestly surprised no one has made it yet. They actually already have drive by wire systems in warehouses where the forklift follow a metal line in the aisle with magnets on the actual forklift to keep it lined up.
