AUTONOMOUS LOGISTICS: A REVOLUTION IN THE LAST-MILE DELIVERY LOGISTICS
“Since autonomous vehicles provide considerable promise for enhancing safety, energy efficiency, and sustainable use, users may spend less time on road traffic and concentrate on other vehicle duties, while increasing productivity. It is particularly advantageous for the fleet owners of long-haul lorries in a highly competitive and low-margin sector. The possibility of disruptive changes is also present in highly automated vehicles, thus the crucial question is how the industry of third-party providers could be affected.”
Business models and competitive strategies must develop to preserve a competitive advantage, and enterprises are likely to have to re-settle in the value chain. The idea of autonomous automobiles has been absorbing the imagination of multiple generations since the beginning of the 20th century. A widely used adoption is often represented in the field of science-fiction as a faraway vision or something expected only in future films. But the truth is that since the 1920s, testing has continued and companies are introducing the first prototypes of fully autonomous vehicles with the help of the digital revolution.

Conclusion: Moving Forward to Revolutionising Logistics Sector
Clearly, 3PLs will be affected by the growth of independent technologies. The entire structure of the market will be modified and most likely divided between diving and last-minute providers. Truck manufacturers will be responsible for developing new technology and investing in it. Adapting autonomous technologies and developing business models are essential for the preservation of the competitive edge of individual enterprises. The introduction of the new technology will impact both operating costs and value-added activities. Even if the technology is impending, there are still problems.
Full automation projections are complicated by legislation, infrastructural development, and public opinion. However, a good adaption of the new technology will be the key to future survival.
