Will machines take over package deliveries?

[Brownslave688]

They would still need the raw materials for the printers. Who would deliver those boxes of heavy crap?

This is true but there's a lot left to see how it'll develop.


Either way it would greatly cut into the amount of deliveries.

I think they will eventually... not tomorrow or next year but sooner that we expected... Just look at how fast robotics and technology have been advancing in the last 10 years. Self flying drones, self driving electric cars and trucks, in our buildings they are getting rid of sorters installing automated sorting machines in their places. There will be resistance from local unions (If we still have them by them... Hopefully something change and we still do...) but we are no longer the big untouchable brown we use to be, our competition is growing at a amazing pace and wont hesitate to implement this new tools and trends.... At the end if you don't evolve and adapt to changing times you get extinct....

Again with respect to all baby boomers old timers of this forum, is just the humble opinion of this almost rookie millennial...
