Show by Autolane
Amazon built a warehouse and changed the rules. Now every grocery store, retailer, and QSR is scrambling to catch up — and the last 50 feet is where it gets complicated.In our debut episode, Buncha founder Sam Lerdahl breaks down why fulfilling a grocery order isn't just a logistics problem — it's a produce problem, a regulation problem, and a cost problem all at once. He also shares a quietly brilliant idea hiding in the future of autonomous delivery: what if the brands whose products end up in your basket helped pay for the delivery itself?Sam's been building at the intersection of retail, robotics, and real-world ops long enough to know where the hype ends and the hard work begins. This is that conversation.No vaporware. No lab demos. Just the people making it real.The Last 50 Ft is brought to you by Autolane — coordinating autonomous vehicles and robotics on private property, one zone at a time.
