UPS and Billionaires getting ready for robots?

[Coldworld]

Not in our lifetime

So within the next 10 years for us old heads???

It’s inevitable that we delivery drivers will be replaced by robots/AI. The question is how long do we have?

So many delivery variables. Let’s go with 7-8 years for perfect, extremely lightweight, cookie cutter developments.

Wow

How long will it take for a robot to find a nda in a bricked out package car?

Preload would give them a groomed load like in the training videos. Lip loaded. Smalls containers and shiny shelves. Plus with robot drivers they will send waves of vans/trucks

Some of this AI goldrush bluster is just Musk-style empty promises. Like the cybertruck that didn't make it to market for half a decade, then was already overpriced and unwanted. Like many promises he made, and the SEC just ignored.

Now the tech giants are going to play the same games.

Yes, every new thing thought and brought to market is a scam. Example -cybertruck

Preload is incapable of creating a load like in the training videos.

These dudes can barely read.

I had one good loader my entire time in package. The rest were nothing but a hindrance.

Awww wow. Your right. UPS used to test you on stuff during hiring.

I am waiting for the day AI takes over the CEO and corpo jobs.

How would you know if AI has taken over the ceo's job. Have you seen any ceo's at work?

 

[Ou812fu]

Wow

It walks like a 70 year old that has had a stroke.

No breaks except to change batteries. Also most importantly no PENSION

How does it confirm identity for signature required, and collect duties for int'l packages?

Carve out exclusion for Dr/sig requested. Online duty brokerage account. Remember if not paying you they will bend whatever law they need to.

The way i feel after yesterday , not soon enough.

Will robot drivers work off the clock so they can be done in 8 hours?

Robots will be related to the clock ….. All in the family

These robot drivers know to deliver downhill only if snow is on the ground, or to back up if on a grade? Hard to turn around uphill on snow/ice.

Will start in dry flat experiment places first. Then push routes resulting in re-looping. Drivers through attrition will transfer centers. Tech will learn from terrain mistakes and share data.

You can’t picture automation doing the job as it currently is, which I agree with.
But automation opens up the possibility of a much more efficient job, different from ours. More routes in, technology supporting the automation for fully automated hubs, different delivery methods for an automated truck.

I don’t know about during my lifetime, but I could see some of your current coworkers witnessing the first fully automated test hubs in their careers.
