How could this be?
We've been told right here....on BC.....that the skies will be filled with automation.........platooning trucks.....self-loading trucks.....lay-offs by the millions to ......robotics.....AI.
The article related that it's founder suggested a "OEM" partner was needed.....(money). I thought the removal of drivers was so lucrative.........
I've repeatedly asked who was going to pay for and implement all the new infrastructure needed for this stuff.....
Anyone?
BTW, noticed the talk of water pumping from the East to the West and desal?
How power intensive it would be......
And how everything in the West is going to electrification.....while not even being able to keep the lights on now?
While Gavin Newsom spews about punishing Walgreens....
Democrat liberals....please explain.
How will they power the $10 billion high speed rail to Vegas?
Liberals hate natural gas and nuclear. They are shutting down both.

I do find it extremely hilarious and ironic, that this company that looked to put people out of work by taking driving jobs, is now being put out of work their selves.
I hope, while they’re cleaning their desks out, the full impact of the irony, smashes them like a tidal wave.

layoffs by the millions are coming unfortunately. Because one company fails you think all companies are done with automation? Lol. You’re delusional if that’s the case. Look up krogers and their grocery picking robots they now have in their warehouses. Robots are coming for all of our jobs. It’s just a matter of time. They are smarter, healthier, faster, work harder, and live forever. They are cheaper, and that’s all that matters. And I’m sorry but the only outcome I can come up with doesn’t include most of the worlds population. As quick as people are to kill you for the sneakers you are wearing, or to unleash a deadly virus on its population, do you really think the rich and elite will keep us around when they have robots to do everything for them? There won’t be any need for money. They’ll have all the free labor they’ll need.

History 101...
Henry Ford walked over to his office window and looked out at the paring lot used by his factory workers. It was filled with horses and buggy's.
In Jan of 2014, he asked his secretary why his plant workers did not drive the Model T's they were building. She replied they can't afford one.
He doubled their pay to $5.00 a day. They bought the cars and everybody wanted to work for Ford.

Besides, eliminating 300 warehouse jobs and keeping 10 mechanic jobs is a pretty good deal for the company. Don’t you think? But yes, eventually other robots will be the mechanics as well.
Sleep easy. Not in your lifetime.
Show me the technology that exists to load or unload or deliver a feeder or pkg car. Today not in a movie.

Maybe, maybe not. Just do a google search and see for yourself all the companies who are already doing it. It’s not if it takes over, it’s when. Like I said before, everyone’s job is on the chopping block.

Ever worked at UPS?
Witnessed the myriad of box possibilities irregs etc?
Now tell us more.
Compare reality to that commercial UPS so disingenuously produced of the perfect pkg car. Perfectly symetrical boxes and load quality. Life ain't like that and life don't have AI.
The boxes may get sorted auto but they can't be loaded or delivered. That includes driving.
Sleep easy.
