I use Brad's term, Deliver Bot.
It is a four wheeled flat bed the size of a small car. With the help of an on-board robot arm it delivers standard boxes of goods to stationary mail boxes curbside. Deliver Bots cost abut $25000, but collect $100/day at $1/box of goods. The current auto delivery costs about $10/box, so we have returned $200 to the household for $20 in transportation costs per month.
Of the sales price, $15000 is hardware, the rest is software and digital devices, mainly vision systems.
The first community to adopt Deliver ots would see an sudden jump in retail activity, as well as the development of new retail formats.
