Fewer vehicles with lighter loads delivering the same amount of product?

I'm gonna need to see your math on that one.

you're gonna need to hit up an industrial engineer for the math. But it's about economies of Just-In-Time delivery and the opportunity cost of storage.

One thing the AD utopia crowd seem to ignore is that driving is a really hard thing that humans are actually pretty good at.

humans are very effective at processing and prioritizing parallel inputs. But it's a system that's easily overwhelmed and paralyzed.

if you've ever rolled a car, you know that you see the horizon rotating in the windshield. That's because your 'CPU' has over-prioritized your vision and is fixated on a single 'reference frame'.

Computers don't suffer from that short-coming, but they're only beginning to get as good as people at prioritizing inputs. The thing about AI is that it tends to not make the same mistake twice.

Just in time inventory requires more vehicles, not less. Reduction of warehouse storage with quicker inventory turns requires more deliveries of what you need, when you need it.

I don't care if it's a human, an L4 or David Lee Roth driving those vehicles.

If you want to rob a truck with people on it, it's not hard, there's just more risk of someone getting hurt. Drivers aren't paid to be heroes, they'll hand over everything, including the keys. At least AI can't be threatened into opening the locked doors or driving to a hideout.
