| The Business Insider website is reporting a rumour that Google is now joining with Amazon at looking at same day delivery service. The rumour is that the service could potentially start using Google's street view fleet and then transition to robotic, self-driving cars and trucks for the service. |
Amazon has stated its goal of getting stuff to you immediately, and now Google, potentially starting with it's fleet of street view vehicles will, as the rumour has it, potentially offer this service as well.
Google is also working on self-driving cars, which could also start delivering packages—cutting out the cost of a driver. As the video below demonstrates, self-driving technology is rapidly becoming a reality and will hit our roads very soon.
The Wall Street Journal doesn't think the idea is that crazy: Late last year, it reported that Google was considering a service that would partner with retailers to offer one-day or possibly same-day shipping.
One retailer, Macy's, said that Google had approached it about offering such a service.
Just-in-time delivery ties together a lot of important economic trends: turning commerce mobile, getting local retailers online, and making payments electronic. Google is involved in all of these aspects.
When BI asked Google about the rumor, a company spokesperson said it does not comment on rumors or speculation.

Keep it up! Nice post! I'm so glad to get to visit this site. Thank you for sharing this interesting and informative post. I'll be looking forward for your other posts as well. Same day delivery is the niche that Airport Courier Service fills for many clients with immediate needs. The services offered by the big 2 (you know who they are), does not provide for same day delivery.
