This sounds more like a mechanical turk than actual automation. A restaurant without waiters is usually called a cafeteria or a deli, not "pure magic." This article is credulous and obfuscating to the point of dishonesty, even if only through emphasis.

By the dubious logic shown here, if Uber put a divider between the passenger and the driver, it would be a self-driving car. Their definition of automatic seems to be "not seeing a person" instead of "not needing a person."
