At some point far, far in the future. If you think this through you’ll see it’s one of the hardest tasks to get a robot to do.
Stairs, judgement, packages of different size and weight, dogs, gates, doorbells, lobbies.
Have you ever tried to get a robot to walk? It’s hard. Climb steps? Open a gate? Open a lobby door? Ring a doorbell to get into a lobby? Do all that while holding a package of arbitrary size and weight?
I would sooner try to automate the job of a lawyer, software engineer, customer service rep, marketer, CTO…
So maybe you cheat. Standardize box sizes. Standardize delivery points. Good start! Go cost out 300M steel delivery boxes and 300M unique install jobs. And 200M of those don’t have room on the property for it. Think about people who live in cities for a moment.
Just deliver to mailboxes! Try that one out and report back!
Ooh! Drones! Amazon spent a billion bucks on it before giving up.
I’m not saying you posted your response in bad faith, but might I humbly suggest that in the future you try to think things through a bit more?
