New idea for a game: Package Tycoon; give achievements and badges for successfully guiding the robot to deliver all your packages, and sit back while the kids do it for free!

Or wait, scratch that; how about Uber for packages. Bored at work? You could be delivering packages remotely to supplement your income!

I think it's only a matter of time before large scale data gathering service providers form a good-enough model of the environment in which they operate, to the point that the core service can be completely automated.

Uber for packages already exists (https://rush.uber.com/how-it-works)

They use "Earn on your own schedule" instead of "Bored at work?" as a slogan, though (https://www.uber.com/signup/drive/deliver/)
