The arrival of true autonomous driving could revolutionize the sector in the future home deliveries . For this, Ford has decided to launch a new research program which aims to help European logistics companies understand how to take advantage of this new technology.

THE PROJECT 
The first reality to want to collaborate with the American manufacturer will be & agrave; Hermes , a UK company specializing in deliveries to end customers. More specifically, the project involves the use of a Ford commercial vehicle and will be sought; to understand more thoroughly how users would interact with a van for apparently chauffeured deliveries. In fact, a modified Ford Transit with sensors simulating the appearance of a self-driving vehicle will be used. In addition, the van will have; of a particular seat on the driver's side that can hide the driver so that other road users believe that no one is driving.
During normal deliveries, the role of the driver often goes beyond that of the simple driver as it can be seen; also take care of loading packages and delivering them in person to customers. During this test, his role will be; & quot; passive & quot; and will limit you; to drive the vehicle. In any case, this & quot; custom & quot; van from Ford for the project, will come; supported by a team of couriers who move on foot and are equipped with a smartphone app that allows them to pull up the vehicle and remotely unlock the tailgate when the vehicle is; safely parked by the roadside.
The couriers, entering the cargo compartment of the van, through voice and screen instructions, will be guided to the compartment where & egrave; present the package to be delivered. Understanding and guiding the interaction of human beings with the vehicle will allow; companies to continue their activities safely even without a driver. The experimentation with Hermes will last; two weeks . The means used for the project will also allow Hermes and other companies to begin analyzing possible scenarios in which employees work side by side with self-driving vehicles.
Finally, it should be remembered that Ford in collaboration with Argo AI is pursuing the development of self-driving technology. Last year, Argo AI's autonomous driving system made it possible to deliver grocery and school supplies through a charity in Miami, Florida.
