FORD, ARGO AI, AND WALMART TO LAUNCH AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE DELIVERY SERVICE IN THREE U.S. CITIES
0#Ford Motor Company, Argo AI and #Walmart are working together to launch an autonomous vehicle #delivery service in Miami, Austin, Texas, and Washington, D.C. — Walmart’s first multi-city autonomous #delivery collaboration in the U.S. The last mile #delivery service will use #Ford self-driving test vehicles equipped with the Argo AI Self-Driving System to deliver #Walmart orders to customers.
“Our focus on the testing and development of self-driving technology that operates in urban areas where customer demand is high really comes to life with this collaboration,” said Bryan Salesky, founder and CEO, Argo AI. “Working together with #Walmart and #Ford across three markets, we’re showing the potential for autonomous vehicle #delivery services at scale.”
The collaboration brings together a self-driving technology provider with an #automotive manufacturer able to integrate that technology with vehicles at scale, plus the world’s largest retailer. This combination builds on Walmart’s leadership in adopting emerging technologies to meet growing consumer expectations and enhance the last-mile #delivery process. The multi-city service will enable #Walmart customers to place orders of groceries and other popular items online for door-to-door autonomous #delivery directly to customers’ homes.
"We're excited to expand our autonomous #delivery efforts in three new markets alongside Argo and #Ford,” said Tom Ward, senior vice president of last mile #delivery, #Walmart U.S. “This collaboration will further our mission to get products to the homes of our customers with unparalleled speed and ease, and in turn, will continue to pave the way for autonomous #delivery."
The commercial service will be available to #Walmart customers within defined service areas of the three markets and will expand over time, with initial integration testing slated to begin later this year. As consumer expectations continue to shift to next-day or same-day #delivery — especially in the urban core where there is a higher concentration of deliveries — this collaboration will drive key learnings in how autonomous technology can enhance customer experiences, while also optimizing logistics and operations.
