Ocado in self-driving vans push with £10m stake in Oxbotica
Delivery of groceries without delivery guy…
Seems confusing...
Ocado a huge online selling groceries company in most part of the world is coming with the revolutionary step, company invested in Oxbotica, a tech start up that works on the driverless vehicles.
Ocado started their work with Oxbotica to build self-driving
vans that can directly take groceries from their warehouses and deliver to their
customers. Ocado invested £10m in Oxbotica, so that together the companies take
this project further.
From the customer perspective, customer has to open their
doors and come outside, an autonomous van or autonomous vehicle, pull out their
groceries to them, or maybe a robot come out to their doorstep to deliver the
groceries.
The motivation behind the self-driving vans to deliver groceries
from Ocado is because company wants to be seen as a technology platform to the
world.
Oxbotica, a start up was launched in 2014 in England by two
Oxford professors to build software for a range of global clients.
The companies claimed that together they get a huge opportunity
to dominate in tech platform in the world. Recently Ocado also acquired two tech-based
companies. Company also claims that it
can also help in saving money as delivery guys are taking as too expensive for
the company.
This can be the huge change in the ecommerce companies’
shipments, self-driving vans creates a huge profit to them, and companies start to
replace the classical method of delivery into this amazing way as early as possible.
