I've never understood why you would trust some rando contract worker to carry it in their personal car for you. Are you insane? In America? Land of mental illness and poverty? It's disgusting.
I mean its a thing useful for disabled people and even currently in NYC if the time limit to delivery was more variable a personal vehicle would be far from necessary given public transportation.
Is this about cars or society and industry? Because what if they're really efficient and have wheels and run on passive energy collected from the power of the sun and processed through rare minerals dug from the earth?
In NYC this would just as likely be an ebike courier. Though the lines on bikes vs cars themselves are starting to get blurry we plug them in, charge them on coal in most places, barely use the pedals. Still way more efficient and less dangerous.
