I'd be terrified if that thing showed up at my door.

Be funny if hackers hacked them to kill CEOs.

Better keep a big furnace full of molten steel ready just in case.

They can depreciate these assets over their useful life, because unlike your soggy flesh sack, these are capital expenses, not operating expenses.
... For now. I'm sure there are libertarians that think you should be able to sell yourself as the depreciable asset you are.

Amazon 1 year after launch: Unfortunately, the space needed for robots in the van means that the van has to return to base 5 times more often to reload with the actual packages and the extra weight of robots more than doubles the weight of the van being lugged around in the form of heavy robots. So that's why we are having to charge more for delivery and why it is taking longer for you to get your packages. But at least we can pay fewer salaries.

At first glance it looked like the robot has a tail. That would be cool and seems like it might help somehow. Add a tail!!

Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It's been over a decade.
These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that's the whole point.
Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.

Like Marty in the grocery store, a waste of space. Get out of my way, Marty!

Also we don’t pay taxes but will fuck up the roads with the extra weight. Good luck driving over potholes suckers!

At my old workplace we ended up getting like a thousand toilet seats delivered to us. We were a web publishing firm.

The robot then encounters the entirely unpredictable American rural south
staircases half busted up surrounded by weeds and gravel roads full of holes
robots fucked with by kids who are now tying it to a tree with bungie cords for fun
one being dragged off in the background by a dude with a welding mask on
wageslave.exe has encountered an internal exception and must close

They already treat their workers like humanoid robots, so this tracks.

Amazon just rolled out their first production drone delivery SSD site in Phoenix. It's sorta shit though.
Zipline is way more interesting and I can wait for them to go live in my area.

What you just described is humans causing the issue, drone delivery would absolutely solve your problem.
