It'd be interesting if they could sell the customer a little 'truck' so when I order something and that thing gets to a local warehouse my little truck could drive off and collect it. It could collect from various places (depending on how I prioritize my items) and then drive back home. I don't have a private parking space and I'm rarely in my house when deliveries are being made, so a mini 'collection truck' would hold my items in a secure way for me. I suppose it could be tiny, maybe only a couple of meters long.

- reustle 10y agoIn theory, this sounds cool, but I feel like in practice it would be pretty wasteful. Does a town of 500 people really need 500 trucks sitting around doing nothing most of the time? Isn't one of the main promises of autonomous vehicles that we can all share vehicles and we don't need to let them sit parked for days on end? Regarding the safe storage of your items, I think that can be solved with something similar to what Amazon Lockers attempted.
