Self-driving vans and drones to make deliveries easier

Ford has unveiled a vision of a future where automated vans and drones will rapidly ship goods across cities. The motoring giant's Autolivery concept would see self-driving cars ship goods across urban areas and use drones to make the last leg of the journey. The plans, which were unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) currently taking place in Barcelona, could help to ease congestion on busy roads and help speed up deliveries. This concept image shows what the new'Autolivery' vans could look like. The Autolivery project is the brainchild of a team of Ford designers who are hoping to help solve the'kerb to door' problem, which is the most difficult part of the delivery process to automate Ford are not the only company working on automatic delivery services.
