Nvidia to power self-driving trucks with Deutsche Post DHL
Nvidia together with the package carrier Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL) will develop a fleet of self-propelled trucks. The trucks will start driving in 2019. DHL will provide trucks with a self-propelled system from ZP, which will make use of Nvidia technology.
DPDHL currently has a fleet of StreetScooter electric delivery vehicles, which can be equipped with ZF's multiple sensors, including cameras, lidar and radar, that feed into the ZF ProAI system. There are 3,400 vehicles from the package carrier that will be upgraded. According to Nvidia, the system would be smart enough to drive to the door with a package reports nu.nl.
DPDHL will outfit electric light trucks with the ZF ProAI self-driving system, based on NVIDIA DRIVE™ PX technology, for automating package transportation and delivery, including the "last mile" of deliveries. Taking packages from a central point to their final destinations is considered the most complex and costliest aspect of courier and e-commerce deliveries.
The last part of the journey is often the most difficult for automobile vehicles, because they need to drive and have to park by, for example, residential areas.Nvidia has also revealed a special (mini)supercomputer for self-propelled vehicles. The technology tagged Pegasus uses artificial intelligence to drive robotic taxies. These taxis could be transported without pedestals or steering passengers.
The Pegasus is the successor to the Nvidia Drive PX2, unveiled by the company in January 2016. The new S0C would be able to perform 320 billion operations per second, the tenfold of the PX2. Car manufacturers that work with Nvidia will start using Pegasus from the second half of 2018. The computational requirements of robotaxis are enormous — perceiving the world through high-resolution, 360-degree surround cameras, radars and lidars, localizing the vehicle within centimeter accuracy, tracking vehicles and people around the car, and planning a safe and comfortable path to the destination.
DPDHL is one of the parners that will use Nvidia Drive PX computers, although it is unclear to what extent the new Pegasus is integrated.

Great for Nvidia but not so great for the people that Drive for a living. I am curious however how will the automated robot deliver to your doorstep if the car/truck cannot pull-up directly to the driveway? We dont all live in houses lol.
Robots will replace us wether we like it or not (eventualy) less maintence,less drama and problems with a robot, only downside is they need to pay for the machine up-front then he or she (it) will work for free as instructed. Humans just bring to much drama to the table hell I would Never hire me if I was an employer. Haha.

One day they will have Terminator type robots patroling the streets (boston dynamics) has already made em check out the website.
I know damm sure I wont argue with one of those.All this will lead to another Skynet type of situation.

Yes. And having two trucks won't scale linearly. You definitely won't get twice the delivery speed, and in fact, using both at the same time may result in stuttering which varies driver to driver. Sometimes if the driver isn't good enough there's even crashes.
