How is delivery any less impact on traffic from driving your own? It would save on parking space though.

It is mildly because it does multiple deliveries in one trip with I assume a routing and scheduling system which does it efficiently.

But the main benefit is it enables me to not own a car, if I couldn’t get things delivered I might buy a car and then use it for other things I don’t strictly have to but since I’m paying for one anyway.

A lot of grocery deliveries are done by bike or moped.
