Same. Even outside the holiday season, there are 5+ package truck deliveries/day on my little street (12 houses). That's UPS, FedEx, USPS, usually multiple Amazon (which always surprises me), plus a couple unmarked vans. Plus couriers in cars. Plus food delivery, at least 2 a night. Almost all the Amazon vans are now electric Rivians or GMCs.
That's a LOT of drone traffic, given there's near zero ability to double up on a single stop as there is today.
- throwaway2037 11mo agoI recently started seeing electric delivery vans from IKEA in my city. One thing I really noticed: They are whisper quiet compared to diesel trucks.
- alistairSH 11mo agoYeah, it makes a massive difference in the neighborhood, where speeds are so low (10mph or so) there isn't much tire noise. Now if we could just get our landscape crew (HOA, not mine personally) to adopt electric leaf blowers. I hate this time of year and the constant roar of those things.
