Quote:Yeah, but those jobs in those fulfillment centers are likely to be significantly less salary than the drivers. 

 

Overall, a loss for the worker. 

Fair enough. It's definitely a complicated issue. One that I'll willingly admit I'm not exactly qualified to speak on. I suppose it depends on how you look at it. More people working (semi-regardless of salary) could be better for the country, while the loss of drivers positions would certainly hurt the drivers at the very least.


The only thing I can say definitively is this: Economies are fairly fluid, and if drones take off there will have to be an adaptation of the work force. We survived the industrial revolution, we survived the introduction of vehicles, we've survived the introduction of automated mass production (for the most part, at least). I'd say that we'll likely survive the introduction of drones.
