Autonomous vehicles are regarded by many as a potential solution
to the "last mile" problem in the supply chain and
logistics industry. In the US, a number of consumer goods companies
(including grocery giants Kroger and Walmart), are partnering with
auto manufacturers and start-ups in an effort to develop a
driverless delivery platform. Similarly in China, delivery giants
including Shentong and Yunda are investing heavily in R&D to
launch their own self-driving delivery vehicle products. However,
Chinese start-up Neolix claims to be the company to beat after it
recently began mass production of its Level 4 self-driving delivery
vehicle line in Changzhou.
