[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 2075641, member: 58808"] I was thinking the same. The R and D for this is in the billions. By the time they get the technology stable, the per piece cost of one robot unit could be astronomical. It'll only look attractive to ups and others when the robot AI technology is "affordable ". Kind of like when cell phone technology or computers came out. The costs were crazy but then 20-30 years later, it's cheap. That's my guess of how this plays out. I'm betting a new driver starting now has 35 years before this technology becomes affordable. They will be the last generation of human labor [/QUOTE]
