alt Hacker NewsThis is neat but also seems like an insane solution to the problem of “I don’t like seeing service trucks”. How many such tunnels and elevators would it take to supply the buildings in a typical city’s downtown area?
And what else could we do with that investment?

I wonder how many people such an automated freight system would kill per year, compared to cars in the same cities. Once we have some numbers, you would probably reconsider the use of "insane" there.

they are no longer needed though with last mile delivery robots being introduced that can use the same elevator and stairs as humans

I would argue the ammount of space in cities wasted on cars and their infrastructure is totally insane.
