There will always be some jobs. That's no guarantee that there will be enough jobs for everyone to live modest lives on.
Some will be left behind. It's not good. But if you look at the course of our past 10.000 years history, it has always meant progress and a better quality of life for the majority.

There is guarantee. Because it's illogical if it wasn't. Imagine nobody having a job. Who are these robots going to deliver packets to?

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.
Stop redirecting them. Make it cost them.
Tell your neighbors to file an “it arrived late” or “it didn’t arrive” complaint. Get two and send one back. Their fault for being shit companies.
If something is delivered to you by mistake, it’s not your responsibility to fix the mistake, you just got free stuff.
If it goes through USPS, it might be a federal offense to open stuff delivered via USPS, but is that true of third party parcel delivery? Almost certainly not, because USPS is a government org and those third party shit delivery companies aren’t..
So now any package that’s delivered to me by anyone other than USPS.. it’s mine now, and I open it to see if I want whatever trash my neighbors are buying.
I used to try to fix the problem.. but then I realized it’s NOT MY PROBLEM.

They'll be vandalised almost immediately.
Non-consentually arbitraged

Wanna bet its 7000 Indian workers again?
Package delivery simulator, pre-order on steam

I'm pretty sure it will be a valuable amount of copper.
Edit: Except of course I guess it won't, because they're just bullshitting to drum up invetor interest, and only three of these will ever exist.
Ea-nasir strikes again!

Companies like Amazon would do anything. Except paying living wages
That is how you get to be this big.

I'd be terrified if that thing showed up at my door.
I'd be very glad and a bit richer

I tend to disbelieve this, mainly because a humanoid robot would be overkill. Custom-purpose robots would be much cheaper to design, build and maintain, with fewer potential failure points.

Eh I dunno there’s so much infrastructure that is human centric; if you could make a humanoid robot it could easily traverse all the human designed places

Like what... stairs?
Just leave the package at the bottom of the stairs like humans do.

...okay, I really want to know the story behind that picture!
I'm gonna say CGI. Arm isn't mounted to the floor (I can tell by the pixels), no cables going to the arm, holding the bowling ball like that is extremely unsafe.

The main problem is walking on unpredictable terrain, which spidery or doggy robots can do with fewer balance issues than two-legged humanoid ones.

Also doors and gates
They may also have concluded that the public finds a humanoid robot more acceptable than those cube 4-wheeled robots that never took off that people like to tip and kick over and stuff

Gif compression definitely makes it look more believable, I remember falling for this the first time I saw it

The drone's only as good as its software, the map it's using, and the address data it's given. All of which were created by fallible humans.
Ain't it fun having turtles all the way down?

^ no address, GPS is very very precise.

Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it's dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.
Amazon's drone delivery is trash, you're correct. But eventually it will be significantly better than humans, input gps location and the product will be at that exact location give or take 1 foot
Take a look at ziplines upcoming drone delivery service for instance, it will be significantly better than Amazon's and will be way better than a human delivery driver.

They will train it so well, it will even collapse like a human when overworked! https://youtu.be/6Kp5qrCExps . I recognized that bot from the photo.
