Doesn't it seem like these specialized delivery services will kind of get trampled when self driving cars become commonplace? I feel like there will be 1-2 big delivery companies (Google + whoever else figures out self driving cars) and then companies like Postmates, Doordash, etc will go out of business. Or maybe Google will provide them with the infrastructure to actually have profitable business.
The doctor on staff providing prescriptions definitely increases the barrier to entry, but I don't think it is something that will hold up in the long run.

- temuze 11y agoYou're describing the process of actually delivering - that's currently UPS/FedEx, etc. They will certainly struggle with Amazon in the near future (and maybe Google). Shipping will always be owned by the big guys because it's a tough, expensive problem. But ecommerce? That will always be open to smaller players because the start-up cost is low (you develop a way to sell it and give it to a shipping service).
