Demand for Next-Day Delivery Drives Need for Efficient Logistics
Gatik’s trucks move orders from the micro distribution centers to multiple retail locations, typically with small box trucks from 11 feet to 26 feet in length on routes that range from 5 to 300 miles.
Operating in this environment places different demands on an autonomous system than does long haul trucking and operating on highways. There are companies building autonomous technology for those applications, but Gatik focuses on the needs of trucks operating in an urban or semi-urban environment.
