    Project CargoPod: Testing out newer avenues for home delivery
  • The project undertaken by Oxbotica and Ocado is dubbed as 'CargoPod', and the trial is restricted to south-east London boroughs for just ten days.

    The project will be monitored by two human supervisors while the groceries are being delivered.

    The 'CargoPod' can carry up to eight boxes, which is lesser than the eighty boxes that are carried in Ocado's fully-functional vehicles.

    How do customers obtain their groceries?

  • Although the new venture promises cost-effectiveness due to lesser manpower and manual intervention, the convenience requires customers to step out of their houses to collect their groceries from the autonomous vehicles.
