Great board.

So pretty soon I'll be able to get a pizza delivered without a tip-expecting human involved?

I wouldn't mind this, the world would be cuter with more robots around.

I have no idea, especially since we do not have a culture of tipping wagies here in Brazil. I bet only burgers give tips.

This is dumb. I liked the idea of trucks having a package and drone magazine, where trucks just drive along as packages get ejected from the roof, then the drone catches up when it drops the package off. This would work for most of their packages, and while it wouldn't eliminate a driver for heavy packages, it would massively speed up deliveries made per truck hour.

Wanna talk about dumbness? Here we go.
As a Brazilian, I cannot believe how delivered packages just get left out in the open in places like USA and Canada. Then you come on the Internet and complain that your shit got stolen, or that it was out under the elements and got wet because they delivered it 2 days ago and you didn't even notice the package on your backyard, all deformed because it was also thrown like a macaco launches shit at predators.
Around here, if you're not at home to receive it, it goes back to the distribution center. For the next two days, two more attempts of delivery will be made. The mailman rings your bell, honks, or shouts aloud at your house's frontal gate, every time. If nobody is at home to receive the package for each of those three delivery attempts—to literally sign a document and confirm delivery—your package goes back to the sender.
Our postal system, called Correios, is state owned. Yet, it's better than all these lazy ass american cuck services like FedEx and UPS.
