Platform business?



When the bots run transportation, Faraday will be there.  Give me a platform that carries a thousand pounds, and has a ten horsepower motor-generator.  I add a delivery arm, and it drives around dropping boxes curb side..  I can cost justify dropping off a pair of shoes, the delivery business transformed.

All electric controls and drive, great, but I need a generator, batteries alone will not do.  Eliminate the driver and scales are disrupted as the vehicles can be made to fit the cargo.

Nevada, smart, open rules, ready to experiment.  Who is their governor? Sandoval.  His taxpayers are investing a bit of money in tax breaks I hear.  The state is becoming a technology hub.

He took my advice

Years ago I said my hometown, Fresno, CA, should open up a neighborhood for automated delivery, and open up some old highways for ulttra fast bus rapid transit.  Why not? Silicon Valley is just up the road.  We coulda been a contender, now Nevada beat us to it.  Nevada, it has one advantage, there ois no Sacramento in Nevada,  All; we get is this stupid 19th century choo choo.
