Self-Driving Vehicles & the Moving Industry

Technological advancement has affected and transformed every industry. The moving industry has not seen a drastic transformation in decades. New technology is being implemented every day to ensure the seamless moving and packing process, but nothing industry-altering has come across until now.

The dream of self-driving vehicles is not a thing of the future. Multiple companies are making huge strides in the domain, and it will change the face of the moving industry. Let’s take a look at how self-driving vehicles will affect the moving industry.

Current Scenario

Five years ago, discussing the implications of self-driving cars would have been moot. Currently, giants like Tesla and Waymo are making long strides in the self-driving car industry. They are at the cusp of a major breakthrough to infiltrate every market.

Tesla already has self-driving features in all their functioning on-road cars. For most parts, the machine is able to manage traffic, sudden turns and lane changes. There are still a few bugs to fix, but it is estimated to be completely autonomous in two years. Due to these advancements, the government is also changing their laws to invite the revolution.

Advantages

Self Driving vehicles will definitely help the moving industry advance and reach new heights. Moving companies can leverage the lack of human touch to transport items during odd hours and the holidays.

This will tremendously reduce the transport time and provide a better user experience to the end-user. Apart from reduced transport time, lack of human drivers will reduce any human-related issues and errors, improving the company’s efficiency in the long run.

With enough advancement in technology, the self-driving fleet will be safer on the road and cause lesser damage. Most accidents happen due to human errors and lack of attention. Machine learning will mitigate this issue and save the industry millions while saving lives.

We are not far from the new wave transformation, and this technology is already being implemented in controlled settings. Self-driving vehicles seem to be a promising future for the moving industry. Only time will tell how it plays out. If you need help with packing and moving, contact us now!
