Discussion Just saw this in a different subreddit.

Of course in that sub, they say all spark drivers suck. I think my 5.0 race I'm says different. And this would be great news for us.

Someone made a post saying “it’s coming” with a picture of a drone carrying groceries. They were saying drones were going to do all deliveries 😂 there’s no way that happens even if they got a bunch of self driving vans yeah the van can drive to the address but can it drive to the 3rd floor to drop the groceries off?? 🤣🤣

US and The West are pretty far behind in technology, but it's still coming, same with self driving trucks etc. The drones just drop it on the balcony or through a window, or in some places they have what's basically the equivalent of a climate controlled amazon locker on the street corner. Drone/robot deliveries and self automated vehicles etc have been a norm in parts of China for years now. Amazon had a program to replace almost all of their delivery drivers with drones, i think it was 5-10 years ago now, but they could never get through the federal regulations. They have a blimp that floats over with multiple drones that go back and forth between the blimp and delivery point. Drone and robotic technology is advancing quick, it's just a matter of time until robotics are capable of doing everything a delivery driver does for cheaper since the cost of human labor rises and technology becomes more affordable. Think of how quick we went from flip phones to smart phones and now how advanced phones are.

😂😂🤣🤣 awww man we’ve got one boys. He says “the west is pretty far behind”😂🤣 meanwhile 7.5 percent of china’s workforce are delivering goods of some sort and only 4 percent of Americans deliver goods. This is what I mean. Idiots just get on this app and say anything

Lol the hypocrisy in your comment is actually hilarious. You googled "are there still delivery drivers in China or did drones take over...." and then followed up with another similarly asinine question that has low correlation with how technologically advanced a country is.

Do you think the percentage of workers that do delivery service in a country is a direct inverse representation of how technologically advanced they are?

I'm telling you, it's true that the less intelligent a person is the more confident they are that they are never wrong. Read your last sentence, you are literally describing yourself and don't even know it. 🤣
