Today on In Case You Missed It: Ford used virtual reality to demo its "Autolivery" concept service at Mobile World Congress. The package delivery system of the future would consist of a self-driving van and a drone working together to deliver parcels and orders right to your door -- even if your door is on the 30th floor. While it's unlikely that anyone will see this system in action for several years -- the company anticipates the fleet won't be ready until at least 2021 -- it would go a long way to reducing urban gridlock and pollution. Meanwhile, Facebook is testing out an AI feature that uses pattern recognition to detect posts from users who may be in distress or suicidal. While users already have the ability to report a friend's status if they believe they're in trouble, the AI will flag status' for review by the Community Operations team. Additionally, there are new Messenger tools that help users connect to suicide prevention organizations in chat, and a report feature for potentially concerning livestreams.

Ford has a vision for the future, and it's apparently one where an army of autonomous vans and drones deliver things to your doorstep. The company used VR to put visitors at Mobile World Congress in the shoes of a dinner party host missing key ingredients. Using a service called "Autolivery," the woman places an order from an app. Her package is loaded into an self-driving van, and a drone flies it up to a landing pad on the balcony on her 30th floor apartment. Autolivery was developed by Shanghai-based Ford designers Euishik Bang, James Kuo and Chelsia Lau for the company's Last Mile Mobility Challenge.

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.
