Ford's Self-Driven Vans Could Save Postmen From Dogs In The Future
We all know that drones are faster than humans and can access destinations that cars can’t.
Ford has revealed its futuristic 'Autolivery' concept in which drones and self-driving vehicles will work together to pick up and deliver packages. This concept falls under the marque's 'city of tomorrow' scheme.
The carmaker believes this idea would streamline the delivery process of the packages. Because the self-driving vans would be transporting a large number of goods to an area and the drones would be responsible for completing the process by delivering the packages.
We all know that drones are faster than humans and can access destinations that cars can't. The drones can drop the packages off in tall buildings or through areas with no parking spaces.
Ford said, "Widely considered the most challenging part of the goods delivery process to automate, many companies are working on how to solve the complexity of delivering packages the last 15 metres, or from kerb to door."
"The pressure to solve this challenge is expected to increase globally in coming years with GDP growth and a rise in local deliveries due to online sales."
The autolivery concept is developed by Ford designers Euishik Bang, James Kuo and Chelsia Lau.
"It's all about making life in the city easier. The possibility of harnessing autonomous and electric vehicle technology with drones to quickly and easily send and deliver parcels could help to make life better for everyone," Bang said.
