One scenario: They can support delivery personnel on their routes by autonomously navigating predefined loading zones. This reduces the walking distances for delivery personnel and eliminates the search for parking spaces. By strategically deploying autonomous delivery vehicles, the delivery process can become even more efficient in the future \u2013 allowing human labor to focus more on the actual parcel delivery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, when we talk about a future with autonomous vehicles, it is essential that, in addition to legal regulations on data protection and liability, a suitable digital infrastructure is also in place. In the medium to long term, the use of autonomous or at least semi-autonomous vehicles in parcel delivery is quite conceivable \u2013 provided that mobile broadband internet is widely available and secure,&#8221; says Marten Bosselmann.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: \u00a9 BIEK\/Adobe Stock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Association of Parcel and Express Logistics (BIEK) welcomes the new law on autonomous driving, which came into effect last week.
