[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3325585, member: 2193"] You brought up the subject of driverless vehicles so I'm just trying to understand what you are worried about and what the opposition is to UPS looking at new technologies. Speaking of non sequiturs, since you stated "Driverless vehicles are not faster and they will not get packages to customers sooner" you have nothing to worry about if UPS uses them, right? Last time I checked, UPS was isn't a not-for-profit business so it's their obligation to make more money for stockholders--business 101. Stockholders of companies aren't supposed to have their investments grow? BTW, I did not state anywhere that if UPS does not have driverless vehicles they will go out of business. Driverless vehicles are simply one piece of technology that is developing, drones are another. Maybe they will be viable, maybe they will not be. If they develop to be something viable that can help UPS be more competitive, then I'm all for it. Why would any employee of any company want their employer to remain stagnant and not innovate and grow & prosper? If every logistics company eventually uses them and UPS is the one hold out, it can't be positive thing in the long-term. I stated that companies that don't look at new technologies and innovate and move with the times, will eventually shrink and collapse. Name me one company that is the exception to that basic business rule. You've stated that UPS looking at implementing driverless vehicles is a non-starter and since they are new technology, you are apparently against innovation and new technology. [/QUOTE]
