What:  A new step in the improvement of the last-mile delivery

Why it is important:  Self-driving vehicles (cars, trucks or other) could help to arrange the financial equation when it comes to the last mile: retailers already know how to delivery efficiently and quickly, but this comes with a human cost.


Ford has teamed up with Walmart to test home delivery with self-driving cars in Miami, Washington and Austin, with a half-dozen wide fleet of vehicles. Ford is also planning to test with Lyft passenger rides in self-driving cars in Miami and Austin this year.
