Delivery trucks are way more quiet for each ton of goods they deliver. I’d rather have two trucks filled to the top on the road once a day instead of dozens of delivery drones delivering goods around the clock. It means the customer won’t get his toothbrush 30 minutes after ordering but at least the rest can live in peace.
- FroshKiller 10y agoTo be clear, I don't really give a damn about the noise either way. I care about reducing the risk of loss of life in automobile accidents.

- FroshKiller 10y agoFewer jobs, not less, and yes, that does sound wonderful to me. You think that sounds like some kind of dystopia, there being more people alive who perhaps have to look for different jobs? Versus those same people being dead and people still doing tedious work we could automate? I think that sounds more dystopian, personally.
- ProAm 10y agoDepends on your definition of global over-population and quality of life I suppose.
