Sure, a few drivers would be replaced. However, the last-mile driver is also taking care of the doorstep delivery. I agree that the last-mile driver will stick around for a bit longer, but their number is relatively small. For example: UPS owns 100k vehicles, worldwide[1]. In comparison, over 3 million people are employed by the transportation industry in the US alone[2].
