Jedes Robotmart -Fahrzeug verfügt über 10 Schließfächer, die jeweils 22 kg von einem lokalen Einzelhändler an einen Kunden gegen eine Pauschalgebühr von 3 USD tragen. Die Fahrzeuge sind Level 4 selbstfahrend. Das gleiche Maß an Selbstfahrer hat es inzwischen ermöglicht, selbstfahrende Lastwagen die Autobahn zu meistern. Wir haben bereits Ports, die fast 100% automatisiert sind – Europas größter Hafen Rotterdam, ein erstklassiges Beispiel.
Fast alle funktionellen Teile einer 100%-Robot-globalen Logistikkette sind hier und arbeiten; Jeder Schritt von der Herkunftsfabrik bis zum Endkunden. Die letzten Bereiche, in denen Menschen laden/entladen oder packen/auspacken müssen, werden bald auch von Robotern gemeistert.
A $3 flat-free self-driving delivery robot in Texas shows how close we are to a 100%-robot global logistics chain.

Trains, trucks and ships are operated by people. Main thesis of this post is absolutely detached from reality. The fact that each step is automated SOMEWHERE in the world does not translate into there being a completely automated global supply chain anywhere on the horizon within the next 15 years.
There’s no way they’re profitable with that fee. Seems like horseshit to steal market share before jacking up prices.
But I can pay a delivery driver for those services (in the US) less than that… and they will drop off closer to the customer.
Neat idea, Amazon’s was a little more realistic with the idea of the individual locker going to the resident so you avoid bottlenecks with slow customer response.
Still, like much of the attempts to automate customer facing jobs, it’s often still cheaper to just underpay a person.
Counterpoint: we’re not very close at all to a 100% robotic global logistics chain and it will not happen in our lifetime if ever.
I wonder what the suggested tip percentages will be.
I wonder what service quality lies between barely competent robots and badly paid humans who just don’t care
This may work in Austin but good luck in L.A. Where do you think you’re going to park that thing?
Wow so another company has an fsd robot unlike Tesla which Elon claims it is coming soon!!!! How did they do it??? I guess they have more sensors then a lame camera which Elon claimed it would work on all teslas with fsd 3 hardware but Elon keeps saying soon and it’s better than a horse!!! Lmao
Oh great, here comes more dumb math to make things sound inevitable and profitable.
Funny, a friend of mine is a pilot in Rotterdam harbour. I wonder what he thinks of ‘almost all 100% automated’ next time he steps on board a ship with 20 filipino crew and a couple of Russian officers…
I’m sure a 25kg payload bot in Texas has him quaking in his boots for his job…
