What It’s Like To Deliver For Amazon In New Rivian Vans
Amazon has rolled out more than 1,000 electric Rivian vans in at least 100 U.S. cities since July, bringing big changes for some of the 275,000 drivers delivering 10 million packages a day around the world. CNBC talked to drivers about how the job has changed since 2021, when they told us about unrealistic workloads, peeing in bottles, dog bites and error-prone routing software. Here’s a firsthand look at all the new tech Amazon says is maximizing safety, comfort and efficiency for a better driver experience.

The AI race is shifting from who has the biggest model to who can run, control and deploy AI most effectively.
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas joins to discuss the company’s new orchestrator model, why he’s building on open-source Chinese AI, and his argument that “token value per watt” may decide the next phase of competition.
Then, Benchmark general partner Peter Fenton and Ollama CEO Jeff Morgan discuss the rise of open models, why enterprises are increasingly running models they can download and control, and what Ollama’s growth says about where the AI ecosystem is heading.
Together, the conversations get at one big question: in AI’s next race, will the winners be defined less by model access and more by cost, control and compute?

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is floating major revisions to the central bank’s approach to assets, productivity, data, inflation and public communications. To achieve this, Warsh has created 5 “task forces” while soliciting interest from individuals outside of the Fed. This presents an opportunity for a small unelected group to influence the broader U.S. economy and value of U.S. dollars circulating globally. CNBC’s Matt Peterson reports.

This is the only free advice i will give, the app should automatically send a text to people that have been marked having dogs to turn on their lights and put away their dogs when we are almost there. That should not be on the driver. We cant use our phone while driving. It should be automatic ty lol

As European I always said the USA has too much freedom while Europe has too little freedom. A capitalistic society that improves the „invisible hand“ effect with safety nets that actually work and social programs that are financially responsible would be the dream. Capitalism works. But it’s not great. Why can’t we improve on it?

I see people complaining about 250 packages lol I get 400 packages daily with 190 stops and my dsp couldn't care less. I pee in bottles constantly never take any breaks and I used to by pass my lunch to finish faster. I make my first delivery by 11:30 and finish by 5pm. If I learned anything here its that I work too hard for people who don't care about me.

@mom4life513
December 21, 2023 at 3:19 am
Instead of high tech vans why not pay the drivers more. There job is hard and they work hard. I remember when drivers had to pee in a bottle. They should get paid way more then what they are getting

I would try to get a job with usps too. Job security, annual cost of living adjustments in pay, a union. All that stuff makes it the better choice. It is messed up that Amazon and other companies are pushing their cost saving efforts so far that they can't employ workers who can plan on staying.

As a downtown courier in the eighties doing over 380 stops a day for Loomis (I had the heaviest, fastest route in western Canada) the low profile (In/N/Out) quickly is critical and saves your back. I'd like for downtown core heavy pedestrian area WINDOWS all around (we have six Chevy short base vans for downtown), rear door should open from inside, and GO. The UPS van was a back killer.

Still didn't resolve the issue of peeing in bottles.
All this innovation is for more packages to be delivered.

Can't be too great, Amazon cut their standing order for 100,000 down to 10,000. Also the drivers hate them as they break down constantly.
