[QUOTE="Nike, post: 1326984, member: 51993"] Ha, we're not talking about cellphones or televisions we're talking about vehicles, which you have to think have changed very little in the past 100 years Ok yeah they have become more efficient, lighter, use different base materials etc. But the end result is the same. You get in them, you turn them on, you drive on a road, you turn them off, you get out and do your thing. Vehicles, cars, trucks, etc have evolved very little in the past century and I don't see that happening much in the next 25 years, which shouldn't matter much for anybody currently working in this company. After that all bets are off. It is far more likely that an upstart delivery company would incorporate such technology and then UPS might buy them out and bring such technology into the fold, not for them to unilaterally decide one day to have driverless vehicles all throughout the company [/QUOTE]
