My first estimate of the number of jobs created in the new transportation era. Moving a 8 sq ft of goods across town is a buck, then small increments of value to goods becomes more valuable. Someone who bakes prize winning apple pies suddenly seas a hundreds of customers around her neighborhood. Plumbing distributors can specialize out of local strip mall warehouses. Examples are beginning to abound. Every skill that adds value to reasonably sized cargo has sudden new value.
Zero inventory and automated freight go hand and hand. The DeliverBot takes a large carton from me to you for a buck. He arrives within the mile within the hour, outside my kitchen window, sometimes delivering or picking up.
The new frontier.
