Until we have robots to do the labor I agree.

  I like how "robots" are the solution. Robots might be 1-10 or even 100 years away from being used. It's like relying on a miracle. It's not a valid business plan.

  For that to happen, we have to first: - Create robots capable of handling pickup and delivery automatically - a very hard technical problem that were far from solving - Manufacture these robots at scale - Purchase and deploy these robots at scale The timeline for all of these things together is years, even decades into the future. Even if you get the tech down, creating factories that can churn out hundreds of thousands of these robots will take years (see Tesla's example - and that's for tech we already understand, like cars). It will also require massive amounts of cash to buy and deploy all these robots. Robot-led delivery isn't happening for a long time.

    drones, maybe

      Regulatory and security nightmare. Having thousands of drones zipping around a city at the same time is going to open up the doors for some bad actors. It will take one lunatic with a homemade bomb and everything will be grounded.
