Trucking is a $700 billion business that shifts 70 percent of all goods in America — so how quickly can it adopt automation?

Reverse urbanization, end of parking are some of the ways autonomous cars may change our lives. What would the impact on business be? Continuous delivery, where delivery vans make delivery routes 24-7?Predictive support, where support personnel are dispatched throughout an area where their service may be needed in the future, working in the car in between jobs?Warehouse on wheels, with high velocity items made available for order online and delivery in minutes?Travelling office, where sales team work out of small vans as they travel from one client to the next?

I think autonomous (self-driving) cars will be the next major revolution in real estate. An autonomous campervan or bus could easile be converted into a mobile office or retail shop, eliminating the need for leasing a fixed tenancy.
Imagine a small office could be totally run from a moving bus, even picking up employees from home or train stations and transporting them to meetings as others work inside.
Maybe future landlords will lease both fixed and mobile property? |

We should expect to see 10 million autonomous vehicles on the road by 2020, which is a lot sooner than people realize. I think this is a hot topic!

Can you imagine a car without a driver behind the wheel? Could be a reality of the near future! Check out this article for more.

This is no question that living on a train is a radical decision to make. It is a direct challenge to the idea that you are suppose to settle into one particular area. While I doubt that this specific phenomenon will catch on, our society is becoming more mobile. People are becoming less tied down to one specific area. The Millennial generation is changing many of the previous social norms. The Millennial generation is waiting longer than any previous generation to marry and start a family. Many are even questioning the institution of marriage itself. Members of the older generations, will decry these changes. This is a familiar cycle that occurs through out history. The Older generation always decries the changes instituted by the Younger generation.

A pretty fascinating article that shows someone that pushes her boundaries everyday. A German student, Leonine Mueller, got into a dispute with her landlord and made a decision that would shock many. She would leave the apartment (not shocking) and go live on trains (very shocking). How is this possible? Well she bought a subscription that allows her to board every train in the country for free (which was cheaper than living in her apartment) and she carries just a backup and needed materials. As a college student she does her work on the trains. As they interviewed her she says how it was more than an economical decision and she wanted people to look at the "normal" and question it, why do we do what we do? She gets to travel the country and meet many new people and see things see never would have expected to get out of a college education. First off for this to work you have to have great public transportation which Germany does, in a country with no transportation or infrastructure this would have been next to impossible. She also does not have children and is young enough to be able to live day to day with this life style. It is a very cool idea and would seem like an awesome experience and at least a great social experiment, but her location for sure plays a key role in this ability to accomplish this. I will look for more stories on her and to see what her outcome was in this situation.

As Africa, namely Sub-Saharan Africa, lacks the technology that is required to develop and maintain this type of transportation is a great start. Time shows that if a country is given a decent amount of time to develop something good will come to it. Advances in technology today make it easier for development to happen, but once again it comes down to the ease of access to this technology in order to properly develop this and maintain it at all times.

En France, on sait bien que l'hydrogène n'a aucun avenir pour la propulsion automobile. Pauvres Suédois, Japonais, Américains, Anglais et autres utopistes qui investissent des centaines de millions. Pas cartésiens pour un sou. Pfff...

Mais qu'est-ce que vous racontez? La France est très en avance sur l'hydrogène, elle est même à la pointe mondiale.
C'est en France que se fabriquent les meilleures piles à combustible du monde. C'est en France que sont nés les premiers panneaux solaires à hydrogène. C'est en France que la première photosynthèse artificielle de production d'hydrogène s'est produite. C'est une entreprise française qui a inventé le stockage solide de l'hydrogène. |
WHY IT MATTERS: self-driving cars may actually impact the truck transportation industry in a huge way. The papers explores how it will do so.
