Delivering the goods: Drones and robots are making their way to your door @CBS #CBSSundayMorning #drone #droneday
CBS Sunday Morning segment on drones:
The growth in home delivery is focusing attention on what logistics experts call “the last mile.”
“They don’t mean literally a mile; they mean the last piece of this supply chain,” Goodchild said. “And the reason it’s interesting is it’s the most expensive mile of the whole thing. I’ve seen estimates of more than 50% of the cost is from that last mile. So, it’s expensive because it’s labor-intensive. There’s a driver who takes every package up to the front door.”
