The Happy, Robotic Chauffeurs of Emirates Airlines

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

If you fly First or Business Class on Emirates, a mechanical robot will be happy to pick you up and take you to SFO for free. You’ll know he’s ready for you when the yellow light embedded in his forehead turns on.

A very yellow bird, with a little bit of orange during mating season. (The yellow-headed blackbird looks similar, but is pretty much all black below the neck.)

Look for these guys hanging around ornamental fan palms this time of year.
