Should Amazon Use Self Driving Robots To Deliver Packages?

Why Is Amazon So Interested in Self Driving Robots?

Amazon is pouring an enormous amount of time, money, and other resources into robots. This is because Amazon has optimized its processes over and over, meaning that its best chances for improving them lies in new techniques and technologies.

I feel like you're asking a question with an obvious answer here. Sure it's coming, once they work out the ramifications of safety.

But is it right to fire several thousand workers for self driving robots?

That's life, buddy. Every time there is a major revolution or new age, there are going to be some casualties. However, it's up to them to re-skill themselves in the mean time.

woodtock....it doesnt matter if its right or wrong. low skilled positions will soon be done by machines anyways. given time and an improvement to AI, skilled jobs will also soon be under threat.

but if you think its wrong for robots to take away thousands of jobs, please speak up to remove all traffic lights from every intersection in your city and hire someone to control traffic. how many people could use an income from that job alone. i dont hear you complaining about that. keep in mind, before traffic lights came along, that really used to be a humans job.
