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.

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

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.

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

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.

Zipline is way more interesting and I can wait for them to go live in my area.

Why is everyone here so negative about this? This is pretty cool!

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!!
