A single company has some robots delivering short distances in three affluent FL cities. Boxes on wheels will work in a tiny fraction of places around the country and the world. The vast majority of the data collected is useless for them. The technology doesn’t exist to do any better either.
Like I said, Coco Robotics the company behind the FL robot deliveries is more likely to be a company hoping to be bought on the promise they can do more in the future than actually expecting to do any more. They’re private, so we don’t even know what their actual economics look like.

I’m sorry, but you’re mistaken.

Huh, fair enough. Still, I do delivery work as my day job and I’m not worried about a box on wheels taking my job.

No disrespect, but you probably should worry a little, I don’t mean to be a downer, I want to encourage you to organize, join or form a union, so that we can fight back against this stuff. We really need to get off our collective asses and depose the ruling class, and that will need us to get organized.
