![]() There exist legitimate concerns on whether computers, software and sensors can reliably operate automated vehicles, and whether they may safely share the use of road space with other vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians. However, implementing automation to vehicular operations is a vastly more complex and difficult undertaking because of the need for these vehicles to operate alongside other road-users on public roads. It has been possible to introduce various beneficial automation innovations to improve the productivity in different areas in logistics such as materials handling, warehousing, inventory management, or order picking. The highest recurring cost in logistics is that of human labor, and human resources cost are projected to only continue to increase in the future. ![]() Primarily, this is because automation will reduce or eliminate the direct use of the human element in vehicular operations. Automation in road vehicles can significantly improve productivity, agility, and safety in logistics. įunding: The author(s) received no specific funding for this work.Ĭompeting interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.Ī successful development of automated driving system (ADS) technology will achieve a major milestone to expand the capabilities of future supply chain logistics.
