If there are 2 things I trust without question it's optimistic CEO projections and 5-year plans

call me crazy, I'm wondering if they are hoping to have automated cars by then and don't have to worry about it.

Can automatic cars go up stairs/elevators?

Package handlers are gonna be here for a minute especially larger packages and business delivery.
