Abstract

Vehicle automation technologies are rapidly developing and will be available soon. Businesses in the logistics industry can develop a competitive advantage when effectively adopting this new technology. However, only limited research exists about the impact of autonomous vehicles on the logistics industry. The aim of this paper is to provide a broad introduction to autonomous vehicles, after which the usage and potential consequences of autonomous vehicles in logistics is discussed. It is clear the adoption of AVs holds the promise of completely innovating the way in which mobility and transportation logistics are dealt with and many research opportunities remain unexplored.
