This thread is mostly off topic. However, there are a couple of critical points that everyone posting so far seems to be missing. I want Amazon, UPS, Fedex, and ESPECIALLY USPS to convert their delivery fleets to EVs. But I want HUMANS driving them. I want HUMANS delivering my packages to my door. And I want those humans to be treated decently and humanely in their jobs. For goodness sake let's at least give them a reasonable number of bathroom breaks. Humans can make judgements. Machines can only do what they're programmed to do. Machines also can't buy stuff to keep a consumer economy moving forward. The more people you put out of work by turning their jobs over to machines, the fewer there are to spend money. When does it stop? When all the Amazon vans are automated? When UPS and Fedex are too? When all the OTR trucks are automated? When your job is automated? As the old song says, the fact that you CAN doesn't mean that you SHOULD. But by all means, put those human drivers in ELECTRIC delivery vehicles. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
