Hong Kong opens three fully robot-managed stores

SIC Notícias5 September 2026 at 10:30

Hong Kong opened three fully robot-managed stores, marking a significant advancement in the automated retail sector in the region. The establishments operate without human intervention, with all operations managed by robotic systems.

In addition to food and beverages, the stores offer articles related to Hong Kong culture, allowing consumers to find traditional products and souvenirs representative of the local identity.

The establishments also offer products from various Chinese cities, expanding the offering beyond what is typically found in Hong Kong and diversifying the range of choices available to customers.

This initiative represents a growing trend of automation in commerce, with robotic technology taking on functions that would traditionally be performed by human employees.

Tesla's Cybercab is under scrutiny from US regulator since launch

NHTSA opened an investigation from the first day of Tesla's Cybercab commercial launch, the autonomous electric vehicle without steering wheel or pedals intended for taxi services. The regulator wants to evaluate the process and technical data used by Tesla to certify the vehicle, since federal regulations still require steering wheel and pedals for commercial operations, and Tesla did not request the necessary exemption, having only self-declared compliance with safety standards. NHTSA warned that existing standards remain in force while the review of regulations to incorporate technological innovations is underway. The Cybercab currently operates in a very limited area of Austin, with an estimated fleet of around 1,000 vehicles, including 45 registered in Texas.
