- cromwellian 8y agoNot yet, but one self driving takes off, delivery drones are probably one of the first use cases to be used. Hell, they don't even have the 'unrestricted left turn' problem that cars have, because UPS already restricts its drivers to right turns only or restricted left turns only. You just need a self-driving UPS truck, and for a certain subset of packages in a certain weight class, just a self-propelled dolly that comes out of a ramp in the back of the truck. I'm guessing no more than 20 years before all of this is automated. And then what for low skilled labor?
