An 'ecosystem' is the wrong reason?

So GM is building electric vehicles to take part in that emerging market. First will be a self-propelled electric pallet called the EP1. It can be loaded at a warehouse, then drive itself onto a truck, drive itself off, and then follow the delivery guy around the neighborhood as all of its packages are delivered to doorsteps across America. Each pallet holds up to 23 cubic feet of packages or food trays, whatever you’re delivering. Payload is 200 pounds per pallet. Top speed is three mph. The EP1 pallets can be tethered together and can be programmed to reload themselves back onto the truck.
Needs an electric 'delivery guy'. Tesla Boston Dynamics is ahead on that one. They will be parkouring over neighborhood fences with the package in a football carry.
