This @cnbc #video goes into much more depth about how #Rivian’s #electric #vans are improving #Amazon delivery, from #employeeWellbeing to #LastMileDelivery #logistics generally: https://youtu.be/hZpqzfOSAjM

Some of the #drivingAssistance #tech seems ahead of consumer #drivingTech—e.g., bulkhead door #automation.

The comparison to #USPS #driving #careers and #electricVehicles was informative. I wonder what comparisons with other driving sectors would reveal (e.g., bus and truck #drivers).
