    Using cars to deliver food pays very little, is dangerous (old guy with shotgun shoots your brains if you go to the wrong house), and is extremely bad for the environment. Current delivery workers could switch to a safer job with better pay and not damage the environment as much. Or we can implement UBI. Just a thought.

    Edit: I would also like to point out a robot’s electric bill for a trip is much cheaper when compared to a gas or even an electric car. Ideally, the savings would be passed along to the customer.

      Well… an old man shooting your brains out for ringing the wrong doorbell is a complete different problem.

      We can also make robots to do that more efficiently.

      I hate this argument… Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a job that pays a livable wage?

      People aren’t dealing with the dangers of delivery because they are lazy or unmotivated, they are doing it because they need the work and it pays barely enough to meet their needs.

        Yes, thats why we need some fucking change in the world. My argument is just saying delivery robots are not bad.
