https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/21/21332374/amazon-autonomous-robot-delivery-scout-expands-trials-atlanta-georgia-franklin-tennesseeIt’s unclear how many robots are on the road and how many customers Scout is serving. But it seems the bots are very much still prototypes, and are being treated with the caution appropriate for a company that’s built its reputation on speedy and reliable delivery.
Amazon says it has a “small number of Amazon Scout devices” operating in both Atlanta and Franklin, which will be delivering “Monday through Friday, during daylight hours.” The devices navigate autonomously but are accompanied by a human minder at all times (an “Amazon Scout Ambassador” in the retailer’s corporate jargon).

Looks like that’s another job Bert can’t apply for.

Its fucking retarded to believe automated vehicles can coexist on the highway with ones operated by humans.
Accidents happen in the best of conditions. It is not a acceptable to have loss of life on the roadways where automated vehicles are involved.
Yes, there is a person on board the automated vehicles being tested now but their intention is to have them operate without a person onboard eventually.

Self-driving cars have been in development for years now. Sidewalk-riding delivery robots are much less drastic. You're fucking retarded to think otherwise. You're also fucking retarded to think they're driving on highways.
And honestly I trust a robot-operated vehicle more than a human-operated one.

You don't even know who I am. Nobody has ever given a single fuck about your opinion. Why do you think you've never been promoted from an entry-level position?

The only things you know about are alcoholism, being a useless junky, and mooching off your mommy. Oh, and sucking cock for heroin (just like how your dad sucks cocks in hell and how your mom sucks cocks to pay the mortgage since her son is a useless layabout)
