last mile delivery

Last-mile delivery automation: autonomous delivery vehicles, curb-side delivery robots, and package drop-off automation for the final leg of distribution. Automated final-leg delivery technology, distinct from human commercial-driver topics such as fleet safety programs (fleet_safety) and passenger-coach operation (bus_coach).
