RE: Ford's Headless Delivery Boys Are Coming To Your Neighborhood In Just 1.5 Years

in #technology5 years ago (edited)

Howdy Janton! I can totally see this robot delivering my packages, although we have few more stairs than in the video. My landlord also shovels the driveway, so that wouldn't be a problem even at wintertime. However, buildings are off the limit for sure, but if these robots do houses only, that would still help a lot. Yeah, he is little bit slow, but that's okay. I may steal him anyway, to do my dishes, vacuuming, drive me to shopping and carry my bags, lol.

Sort:  

haha! So it would even tempt YOU! Then this program is doomed. In most areas he's an open invitation to steal him or his packages or both!

I was just kidding..............this is a technology progress and it will work! Obviously, it will be monitored and easily find if someone messes with it or if it breaks. And the packages can be stolen even if delivered by people. They always leave it on the porch.

Well they could find parts of it but kids are very smart and would take out the gps or tracking device so there wouldn't be anything to find. .or they would just destroy it before anyone could get there. Or they'd steal the van and everything. I mean this is an insane idea for much of the United States! Not to mention the deep snow and ice in winter, there's no way that would ever work. It would just be BEGGING for criminals to mess with it, destroy it, or steal it.

I can't wait to see them start the trial runs with it and see how it goes. It's going to be very interesting.

You are so pessimistic Janotn, lol. This is how people used to think about cars and airplanes, lol. However, I am sure it's pretty heavy and well programmed that it's not that easy to mess with it. You'll see!!! I am just hopping they will be making battlers soon too and I will be rich enough to buy one lol.

Hey I'm sure these will work in civilized societies just fine. I just have my doubts about them working in cities like Detroit!
You are hoping they'll make what? I hope you get rich too!

Well, I wonder how they deliver parcels in Detroit even now. The delivery man may have to carry gun, wear bullet prove west and drive bullet prove car, lol. Same goes for some areas in NY and other big cities in U.S.

I believe I will be financial comfortable one day, That's all I pray for and work for. Even tough some people may not consider what I am doing work. But I know you do, lol.
