Brittain Ladd worked at Amazon and helped them conceive of a model that was both cheaper than traditional package delivery and more convenient as well. The goal? To help Amazon (2.5% share) grocery catch-up and ultimately beat Wal-mart in grocery (25% share).

It starts with grocery distribution centers that are fully robotic/automated called Local Vending Machines (LVMs) instead of stores. These LVMS can fill traditional Prime vans with product, or they can fill 'cartridges' that then fit in a specialized Rivian that accepts the cartridge full of product and then robotically fulfills each stop on a delivery route via the robotics in the van. The final step will ultimately be completed by a humanoid robot.

Sound like science fiction? Brittain Ladd has seen the prototype van and in this podcast we go deep on how Amazon envisions this entire futuristic, zero-human-touch, supply chain working.
