Manna at UPS
UPS unveils new package-flow technology for deliveries

From the Article:It is only one short step from this system to the Manna system. Simply replace the hand-held computer with a headset telling the driver exactly where to go and what to do, and you have Manna.

Never mentioned in the article is the fact that, by saving 100 million miles per year, UPS can drop approximately 2,000 drivers (assuming a driver covers 50,000 miles per year).

It will not be that long before UPS, FedEx, Airborne, DHL, the post office, etc. can replace all of the drivers with self-driving trucks and robots. See Manna, Chapter 3 for details. That will send more than a million employees to the unemployment lines.
