Autonomous Vehicle Engineering - November 2022 - 7

Cover Story
as the control software is refined. If there has been any
impediment, it's been gawkers in cars who block traffic
to photograph the 'bot on the road. Abdelfatah said his
restaurant's customers and other local businesses are
enthusiastic about the Magna machines.
" Technology like this is a good thing for the entire
community, " he asserted. As winter arrives, he's hopeful
for continued reliable service. Magna's development team
expects to collect a trove of cold-weather use-case data,
including that from end customers. " The design intent
is all-weather capability, " noted Adam Naish, Director of
Magna Engineering, Corporate R&D.
Autonomous delivery vehicles are predicted to
generate about $670 million in global revenues by
2030 - up from $70 million in 2022 - according to
ABI Research. One prominent maker of delivery 'bots,
Starship Technologies, reported that its global sales
traipled in 2021. Engineered in Estonia, the company's
product deployments include some 300 bots operating
in Britain, making about 1,000 daily deliveries.
Challenges abound, not only in creating robust,
practical 'bots but also in the overall logistics matrix.
Last-mile delivery is the most expensive factor in the
end-to-end delivery equation, according to supplychain
experts. The total cost of shipping for the last mile
of any delivery reportedly is 53% of the total delivery
cost. On-time delivery is the price of admission in this
hyper-competitive field. Rural and urban areas present
unique hurdles. In the busy urban downtown where
Brooklyn Pizza operates, the time saving that comes
with closer customer proximity typically is sometimes
neutralized by traffic congestion and continuous delays.
Pizza, anyone? Magna
