In logistics company Kuroneki Yamato, we have begun Verificational "Robonnekoyamato" service, which allows us to purchase what we want from a number of franchise stores and deliver it near our house . After that, as with other mobile sales, I just go there and receive it.
The great thing about this service is that the home delivery locker is loaded on the car carrier, so if the automated driving vehicle becomes popular it means that you can deliver the package unattended. Also you can receive things you bought through internet mail order, you can solve the problem of people shortage in logistics.
