INSIDE REVOLUTION: Takeout riders couriers to be replaced by robots! Meituan and other unmanned delivery vehicles are coming

The whole involution thing is scary, originally thought it was just between people and people.

Now I realize that people will also be rolled by machines.

I did a program on this before.

Friends who still remember can recall that in this video, I talked to my friends in depth about whether machines will gradually finish replacing human jobs in the next 5 years, resulting in people having no work to do. At the time, some people barfed with me in the comments section, saying I was being alarmist. But the good news is, you don't have to wait 5 years. Right now, machines are already replacing people in the delivery industry, starting with a news story about unmanned delivery vehicles being allowed on the road.

On the 25th, just a few days ago, the unmanned delivery vehicles of Meituan, Jingdong, and Xinshiqi obtained the qualification of open road traveling, which means that these vehicles can be driven on the open road in the limited area of the auxiliary roads, non-motorized roads, and so on, and the unmanned delivery vehicles formally have the right of way for the first time in China.

What do you mean by unmanned delivery vehicles? It is the use of high-level automatic driving technology, instead of artificial driving or riding delivery, called to solve the takeaway, logistics and other "last mile" transportation problems and services, specifically applied in the unmanned retail scene.

The report said that the advantages of unmanned delivery vehicles: because of the slow speed, only loads and not people, unmanned delivery vehicles will not encounter the same cost and safety problems as driverless cabs.

In addition, the report also mentioned that, in addition to Meituan, Jingdong Xinshi three companies, Suning, Ali and other companies also have a layout in this field.

Well, with the news out of the way, there are two very important messages in this news.

One is that these unmanned delivery vehicles have obtained the qualification of open road traveling, which means that these vehicles can be driven on the open road in the limited area of auxiliary roads, non-motorized roads, etc.;

The second is that: these companies have started to use unmanned delivery vehicles to start the last kilometer of delivery.

How do you understand the two messages stacked together? It's that these companies are going to start making deliveries with unmanned delivery vehicles, and they've been officially allowed to do so. Who did the last-mile deliveries originally? The vast variety of takeaway riders and logistics and distribution staff ah.

From the ROI point of view of this matter, research and development of this unmanned car was originally required to invest a lot of money, and face a lot of uncertainty, do not do it how to do? It is not allowed to go on the road how to do? The road traffic accidents how to do?

This is the first time I've ever seen a car that has been used as a driver.

What the people hate most is uncertainty, uncertainty brings great risk, and people are best at avoiding harm, so people have to do their best to avoid uncertainty; while capital is the opposite, like to invest in uncertainty, uncertainty brings great destructive power, the original business, human resources, completely destroy the reconstruction, and then bring more profits, so that the previous investment maximization.

For example, the unmanned distribution revolution is replacing manual distribution with driverless distribution.

Very well, this time the capitalists have gambled again, capital carefully cultivated greenhouse flowers finally born, looks like a harmless look, just this child once grown up, in the future in the end is a brave to slay the dragon, or to become a dragon dragon, devouring all the courage to stop it, it is not known. The only thing that is known is that the jobs of takeaway delivery workers and logistics couriers are about to be untenable.

Some people and I have to bar, how can this thing completely replace artificial, still have to be sent into the door, or customers can be satisfied? Can not complain? For example, you think about the current rookie courier, the courier is not all placed in the courier station? There are other companies express, are not all in the express cabinet? As long as the capital insists on doing something, there is not done? In the future, let the unmanned car to your home downstairs, you take it or not? If you don't take it, you'll be hungry, and if you're hungry for two or three times, you'll be honest.

As I said in the previous video, the current job market is polarized, and the labor market is like a giant spindle. It's either jobs that require higher IQ, better service, or heavier physical labor. How you choose is up to you.

Some people say, this is so far away from me, it has nothing to do with me.

Yes, a little retrospective: cab drivers love to pull who pulls who, want to refuse to carry who refuse to carry who, until the drop suddenly fell from the sky, the leather of its life; shopping malls in the cashier think, I do such a boring job, earn so little, my kind of post who can still come and I grab a job, until the two-dimensional barcode and self-service checkout suddenly fell from the sky, and overnight took away his job; the major companies in the world, the work of the people, the work of the people, the work of the people, the work of the people. The big companies in the artificial customer service think, I work a day to receive 300 calls, has been very bullish, the business is very familiar with the service thief, who can replace me, until the automatic response system and voice robot suddenly fell from the sky, a day to receive and play tens of thousands of phone calls, 7x24 hours at any time on-line, not only can pick up but also to call out to do the performance.

Looking back at this phenomenon I'm talking about, isn't it just the last few years? So, these cab drivers pulling jobs, cashiers in shopping malls, artificial customer service in major companies, where have they gone? Who knows? Who has paid attention? Who cares?

You will either become irreplaceable or you will eventually be replaced.

Either you work your way into a better upward mobility path, or you're stuck in middle age heading for the heavy labor market. It's all in your hands. All countries around the world are riveted to realize Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, this is the trend of history, the machine will be in all walks of life to completely replace manual labor, the wheel of history ran over, who can mantis? You are eliminated or left, the fate of three inches in your own hands.

Specifically how to do, to save their own lives, I mention here three ways.

The first road , on the road, if you have the resources, contacts, since the characteristics of Industry 4.0 is to replace manual labor with intelligence, we find ways to start a business in this direction, to create more products and services, do not look at only stay in the domestic market, we must look at the world, and strive to become the first echelon, in the future, either bought by BAT, or create a piece of heaven. Either create a piece of heaven by yourself, in short, borrow the power of capital and fight with other capital in close quarters.

The second way , middle of the road, no resources, no connections, but a high degree of education and high IQ, then join the battle, committed to these leading enterprises committed to intelligent alternative to manual labor, become a part of the wrestling wave. In this battle, knowledge is your weapon, the enterprise is your battlefield. So you will not be eliminated, career polarization, you will also become close to the upper end of the wave of people, is often mentioned in the mouth of the middle class.

The third road , the lower road, no resources, no connections, no education, no high IQ, which is a broader group of workers, then we also need to pay attention to technological development, to remain sensitive, close to those who are profoundly changing the industry, what industry, those who are accelerating the transformation from artificial to artificial intelligence industry, to become a service provider. For example, when DDT first started its business, some people relied on amazing courage and based on the business judgment, because they have a driver's license, successfully transformed into DDT drivers, and became drivers of the emerging cab industry in the 21st century, and made a lot of money in the subsidy war, back to ten years to see this result is unthinkable, black cars have always been illegal, and the cab industry has long erected a barrier, difficult to be The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money.

Is there a way out of this?

I'd say it's hard, very hard.

You look at sitting in the office, people over 35 years old are being invaded by the young; you look at the street, restaurants and stores are being invaded by the takeaway, to the e-commerce as cannon fodder; and you look at those fruit and vegetable operators and husband and wife kiosks, are being invaded by the community e-commerce.

Where is their future?

Can't keep up with the changes of the times, can't quickly promote to the three roads I mentioned above, will soon be replaced by the machine, the end of the internal scroll, bone crumbs are not left. Their job opportunities, the livelihood of the rice bowl is gone, where can they go? Can only enter into the downward channel, is the heavy manual labor industry.

But even takeout and delivery are now being replaced by intelligent services. Where is their future then? Who knows? Even for me, sitting in front of a screen, once I'm replaced by AI made by AI, what am I going to do to support myself?

This is a question for me, and for you, to think about and prepare for.

I'm Child @ Flame Child , like my content, remember to give me a concern, or else you won't be able to find me in the future, we'll see you in the next issue.
