Alastair Westgarth, CEO Starship Technologies: The Future of Autonomous Delivery Bots

Informações:

Synopsis

The idea of autonomous vehicles delivering products straight to our door may not sound novel, but there are not a lot of examples of that level of the last yard or meter delivery in practice right now. Ten years from now, the practice of doing this will be commonplace. There are approximately one hundred and forty million households in the US and over 10,000 major cities worldwide. To do this with autonomous vehicles to a universe of large destinations is inherently complex, but we have to start doing this somewhere now where the environment is somewhat representative of a wider world of moving bodies, other modes of transport, and some levels of unpredictability.
