Bloomberg’s feature on China’s delivery robots describes an industry looking towards after-dark deliveries. Autonomous-vehicle companies see a large potential market, the report says, if the technical hurdles can be overcome.
Why it mattersThe appeal is clear enough: more hours for deliveries, provided the machines can manage the conditions. For now, this is a reported opportunity, not evidence that night-time robot delivery has cracked the hard bits.
Discuss: Should delivery robots be expected to work around the clock, or is the night shift a tougher technical and public-space problem than the market opportunity suggests?
