Hot pursuit of Google Apple, news that Amazon will be involved in self-driving cars


[Netease Smart News April 25 news] Apple and Alphabet is not the only technology giant to enter the field of self-driving car technology, Amazon also have to put into action.

The Wall Street Journal source said that Amazon established a small team of about 12 people a year ago to explore the possibility of research and development of autonomous vehicle technology. This does not guarantee that you will see Amazon’s driverless cars wandering the streets. This is clear.

Instead, the group is an "internal think tank" that studies how to use automated driving technology to facilitate the company's online shopping business. That being said, smarter delivery tools are possible.

As we all know, whether it is to purchase its own aircraft or to engage in maritime transportation, Amazon is strengthening the control of its distribution chain, thereby reducing distribution costs. Self-driving cars are an extension of this logic.

If it reduces the demand for human drivers, the delivery truck can run almost continuously. This will eliminate some jobs, but it may also mean that you can receive Amazon orders within a day without waiting.

To some extent, for Amazon's drone delivery plan, the development of autonomous driving technology may be necessary - according to sources, this is still a major focus of the company. Although there are no specific details, Amazon may "coordinate" each other with ground-autonomous vehicles (such as trucks that act as take-off platforms) to help with delivery.

The unmanned team may have a lot of work to do, and maybe one day in the future, your order on Amazon can be completely done by the machine.燑/p>
