DHL Report on Self-Driving Vehicles

Last week, international logistics company DHL released a report entitled “Self-Driving Vehicles in Logistics.”  The report provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the driverless transportation industry.  It gives a good, high-level overview of the current state of the technology and its legal issues, as well as perceived consumer acceptance.  (We here at Driverless Transportation aren’t sure there is much value in consumer surveys at this point.)  It then gives a good rundown, by manufacturer, on the current state of the art in autonomous capabilities.

The core of the report, of course, was the implications of driverless technology on logistics.  Here it goes through the logistics process from the initial warehouse through delivery to the end customer.  They do make a compelling case about how driverless technology is more likely to impact logistics than passenger vehicles in the short term.
