If cable, cell, ISPs and companies of that ilk are any hint, we'll have to pay the upcharge on the items themselves, all of the food delivery company's fees and surcharges, and then get double-dipped from the driverless car company for those same fees. They'll also tack on a fee to rent the car while it drives to our homes, another fee for each second it sits waiting for us to go grab the food, a fee for each second of cloud computing time as it updates to the network, a fee for the electricity it uses, and as part of the Eula, we must top off the car's batteries from our own charging stations thereby incurring that cost as well.
