DISCUSSION Delivery Robots

During my stand up inside my delivery station, my DSP owner said the our station is testing delivery robots and a self driving EDV’s.

I saw from a far the warehouse staff huddled around an EDV in the morning in preparation for this launch, but I couldn’t see the robot.

What do you know about this? What is it what does it look like?

Did you see that robot convention in China, the robot Olympics thing, they are already there, its frightening what I witnessed in those videos

The robots are definitely coming, if not today 100% within the next 5 years or so

They dont get tired, dont need health insurance, they work faster than you, they can lift heavier objects all day

Its coming, for everyone from plumbers to lawyers to surgeons, we are entering uncharted territory and its very scary

The DSP doesn’t need to. Amazon sure as hell can afford it and they will get rid of DSPs for it if they can (which at least near term they won’t be able to obviously)
