Cost of autonomous and human driven local small item deliveries 2023

In 2023, local small item deliveries carried out by drones costed decisively less than the costs of deliveries using human drivers, costing only 0.25 cents per trip compared to the human cost of 5.40 cents per trip. This is due to the lower operating costs of autonomous vehicles, such as the price of fuel and the expense of hiring and training a human being to operate the vehicle.

至2023年，无人机执行的本地小型物品配送成本相较于雇佣人类驾驶员的配送成本有着决定性的降低，每趟行程仅需0.25美分，而雇佣人类驾驶员的行程成本为每趟5.40美分。此现象得益于自主驾驶车辆较低的运营成本，包括燃料价格以及雇佣和培训操作车辆的人类成本。
