Maybe they convinced themselves that automated cars will come soon and then delivery will become basically almost free.

That is probably not so easy: you'd still have to pay for the car (if it retails for $100k, that is a lot of deliveries to make before eating that cost), and it will depreciate over time. And you still have to pay for gas (electricity?), insurance, maintenance, etc.
Not to mention solving the issue of the physical exchange with the customer.
