Your Amazon delivery person might soon be a robot, which isn't as terrible as it sounds

Imagine this: a whisper-quiet Rivian EV Amazon delivery truck pulls up to your front door, and before the driver even has a chance to step out, the back of the van briskly rolls up and out jumps a robot carrying a package to your doorstep.

It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but that reality may be closer than we think, according to a new report from The Information, which says Amazon is already running tests.

Instead of humanoid robots taking the Amazon delivery crew's jobs, the humanoid robots would work in tandem with the human drivers. The robots would sit silently in the back, and when it's time for package delivery, they'd find the box, open the door, and carefully make their way to your home.
