The trend toward autonomous transport in the cargo handling and logistics industry is moving along at pace. However, there are many misconceptions about autonomous vehicle technology; and the commentary here seeks to dispel some of the more common perceived issues. Currently, within container terminals, there are automated internal transfer vehicles and yard cranes. Ports are seeing automated harbor boats and drones for security and inspections, autonomous trucks and vehicles are being trialed on public roads, and drones are delivering goods. While many are confident in this autonomous technology and pursuing its use, others are hesitant to move in this direction. |
