Autonomous 2027

In Autonomous, you run one of four competing e-commerce startups looking to disrupt the last mile delivery problem. You’ve purchased a robotic distribution center and a fleet of autonomous delivery vehicles but unfortunately some decisions still need to be made by humans so you’ve also hired a small team of four software developers to build and maintain the code base to manage the logistics. Outdeliver your opponents to capture the market.

Turns consist of either editing and/or running a line of code in your code base to either instruct your distribution center how to load and unload your vehicles (get things off your big rigs and onto the autonomous delivery vehicles) or to navigate one of your vehicles in the city grid (attempting to deliver the goods demanded by the various city blocks). The game can be won by either being the preferred company in the city or through points.
