I think the most significant use of vehicles I've seen so far is: https://flyzipline.com/ https://flyzipline.com/ Not so much replacing existing solutions but providing one that couldn't have existed before. At least as far as things go right now. Outside of that autonomous drones have made things like mapping and other aerial sensing problems quite a bit cheaper. My personal take is that delivery people will be amongst the last jobs to be automated as there is a lot of complexity involved. Stuff like drone delivery seems to have issues with scaling and rather than reducing the number of employees moving them from delivery jobs to a fleet of technicians to keep the drones going. From my perspective the thing happening here is companies off-loading work onto recipients. For example quite a few of the delivery companies here now take all parcels to drop boxes and expect the customer to go pick it up. I'm not particularly opposed to that as it's probably better all round. Similarly self-checkouts seem like an improvement despite labor shifting from paid employees to the customer.
