The next step is to give these robots weapon so they can protect the package and defend themselves. What could go wrong
It's always that same plinky-snappy-clappy music in these videos.
And damn, that thing occupies the whole sidewalk. Imagine a fleet of 4 or 5 of these roaming your neighborhood?

And according to Death Stranding every package delivered by a robot it's going to end with a 90-90% damage.
At scale and with various optimizations, maybe. This is only incrementally removing humans from a small portion of the supply chain, but it's likely worth testing. This is coming out of the R&D budget at this stage I'm sure, so profitability doesn't matter. The purpose is to learn.
This doesn't seem like it will work outside of their video with the perfectly well maintained sidewalk.
1. How many packages is it carrying? What stops someone from taking other packages?
2. You have to come outside to get your package from the robot? How long will it wait? I want my packages dropped off at the front door.
3. It won't roll up to your door? I don't want to go to the sidewalk for a package.
4. How does it identify you?
5. How does it deal with unpaved areas, rough terrain around a house?

If it can do this job at a significantly reduced cost for even 10% of Amazon's customers, that could be 10s or 100s of millions of dollars saved annually. It probably scales better in certain environments too.
1. Who knows, security seems very solvable, and some security is better than none (our current reality). Package volume could be scalable.
2. Not everybody cares about this; a good portion of the market would prefer this to a package left on the doorstep.
3. Same as (2) above; for me, this would be an extra 8 feet or so of walking, but everybody's situation will be different.
4. Same as (1) above.
5. Likely wouldn't serve these customers, who are probably a minority of customers anyway
Saudi Arabia and MBS are working on a plan to do that I'm sure.
My first thought, humans aren't ready to live with robot kind
