With the release of the film in August...
Beeping Sound. The dream mailboy is a completely automated cart with 20 mail compartments. It runs on four rubber wheels and is driven by a battery-powered electric motor. Electrical sensors in the cart pick up low-frequency radio signals from wires that are strung under the carpets along the desired route.
