The future for traditional distributors is in doubt, as Google has patented a "standalone courier."
Google's proposed autonomous courier patent wants one truck with lockers that will unlock with a pin. So the person who has bought something will know the number of his box, but also the Pin to open it.
Of course, Google is currently busy testing autonomous vehicles, so distributors shouldn't worry about losing the work their. Besides, we have heard of too many patents that never found their way to the market.
But the fact comes to remind us how much the upcoming technology will affect the market work and not only.
