McDonald’s is teaming up with IBM to develop a faster drive-thru – powered by artificial intelligence.

The fast food giant began testing the new AI technology in Chicago earlier this year, but says the technology is currently only about 85% accurate.

The new tech is expected to be ready in 1-2 years.
