Neolix expects to deliver a thousand of the vehicles, which resemble tiny vans, within the first year as it broadens out. The entrepreneur, who was previously and inventor of smart tools for the logistics industry, said delivery of goods is just the start. While humans are trying to keep up and becoming more efficient with inventions such as smart lockers, there’s no doubt robots are becoming an increasing threat. While self-driving cars that carry passengers still face significant regulatory obstacles, Yu says the path has been easier for unmanned delivery vehicles. "When robotaxis really enter our daily lives, we may already have over a million self-driving delivery vehicles in use, and makers of those vehicles will be a key driver behind the autonomous-driving technology.” – Bloomberg
