☆ Amazon will take years to recover from a warehouse overbuilding binge during the pandemic. In 2022, it still added a third of Walmart's total capacity.
  + stars: | 2023-01-05 | by ( Eugene Kim | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The company scaled back warehouse expansion last year in the face of an economic downturn. Amazon grew its warehouse footprint by 125 million square feet in 2020 and 137 million square feet in 2021, Wulfraat estimated. Amazon currently uses about 65% of its total warehouse capacity, lower than the 85% levels from 2019, Wulfraat estimated. That's because Amazon over-expanded in recent years, with warehouse growth "materially" outpacing product sales growth, he said. The company saved up to $4 billion last year when it scaled back warehouse expansion plans, according to Wulfraat.

A delivery driver for Amazon was found dead after an apparent animal attack Monday in Missouri, and deputies shot and killed two aggressive dogs, the Ray County sheriff said. Deputies were called to a home in Excelsior Springs, a town of around 10,000, around 7 p.m. after neighbors reported that an Amazon van had been parked there for several hours, Sheriff Ray Childers said. A man's body was found in a yard, as were two highly aggressive dogs, he said. The owners of the residence were not home, and it appears they are out of town, Childers said. In Florida in August, a U.S. postal worker died after having been attacked by five dogs, officials there said.

An autopsy and necropsy will be performed on the driver and the dogs within the next coming days, according to Childers. It’s not clear if the dogs caused the death of the unnamed driver, but Childers noted the driver’s remains had extensive injuries.

☆ Waymo says it plans to launch its self-driving service in Los Angeles
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Jennifer Elias | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Waymo said service will first begin with safety drivers behind the wheel and, later, with just Waymo employees as riders. “When we think about our next cities, Los Angeles jumps out,” said Waymo’s co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana in Wednesday's blog post. Alphabet -owned Waymo said Wednesday it plans to expand its self-driving ride-hailing service, Waymo One, to Los Angeles. The self-driving car industry has been slow to progress and live up to lofty promises, but that's especially true of Waymo. Waymo announced plans in March to remove safety drivers for fully-autonomous rides, but those are still only available to Waymo employees, the spokesperson confirmed.
☆ Amazon workers say minor aches suddenly became debilitating as they raced to meet speed targets

At the DuPont warehouse, Amazon workers with such injuries took an average of 103 days to heal, Washington state found. Workers' compensation payouts to Amazon workers with musculoskeletal disorders are often in the tens of thousands of dollars — some exceed $100,000, data from Washington state shows. But because musculoskeletal disorders take months to develop and aren't as visible as other, more catastrophic injuries, even some Amazon workers write them off. Williams was out of work for more than 150 days because of her shoulder injury, internal Amazon injury logs show. The company needs to become "Earth's Safest Place to Work," Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, said in his final letter to shareholders last year.
