But mainly I don’t like the idea of a small box standard controlled by a single logistics company business model. I want a standard small box that’s multi-modal.

Like I can tell ups to drop it off at a friend, give friend code to open and take something out, then have fedex pick it up and check it in to an airport storage locker. Then I can tell amazon to deliver something into that box that I pick up when I pass through that airport.

Such a container could pay its own way around, and even respond to simple commands like “come to me” You could distribute your stuff from say a 2 br apartment around the country in 100 boxes as you nomadically bum around, and then one-click have it all converge to you 😎

Maybe a $200 *really* smart version with inner/outer camera, motorized wheels, and self-charging cord. That could physically move itself small distance across intermodal shipping leg gaps. Meet you in the parking lot for eg.

This is an apocalypse-proof way of owning stuff. You travel light, with just a couple of beige henleys and spare jeans and laptop in your backpack, plus zombie machete, but still have a mansion’s worth of stuff that’s resistant to all being looted at once by local Mad-Max gang.

You could shard your material life across say a 100 boxes in a way that any subset of 15 boxes can sustain a basic life, and any subset of 35-50 is 80% capability. No need for billionaire bunker-mansion with landing strip in Wyoming or New Zealand.
