Many big companies were looking to drones when
it comes to delivering the packages to their customers. Although this sounds
like a near impossible process, it was a good idea. The only probably was that
the drones would take a long time to deliver your package to your front door.
Researchers at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems and Society along with other
logistics groups released a prototype for a three-wheeled automobile that will
deliver goods underground. With drones, a lot of things could go wrong.
Pedestrians or weather would be able to take down these drones. Using a radar
system, GPS and 3-D lazar scanners would make this automobile work without
distraction and obstacles. Even though this too sounds like a long shot,
research is being done and test are being run to see if this type of idea would
be possible. It is definitely an idea everyone should be aware of. Instead of
delivering your goods to your door, they would go to a local post office,
package lockers or a place where you could pick up. If this idea takes full
swing, this would eliminate the cars and trucks on the road, reducing delivery
traffic. We may be seeing this idea come into play in the future.
