Remote areas in the UK could soon see the Royal Mail delivering letters and parcels by driverless vehicles or drones. Moya Greene, chief executive of Royal Mail stated she has to keep an eye on technology or risk falling behind the market!
Amazon and google have been experimenting with drone deliveries for a while and Swiss post are now delivering parcels with pilotless aircraft!
Consumers in rural areas could be the first to benefit from drone service if plans materialise where there are not vast deliveries needed. Air traffic laws is the biggest threat to these plans but who would have ever thought we would have driverless trains at airports. Drone delivery is certainly the way forward depending on regulations.
At Yes Response we believe that the UK postal service offers very good value for businesses, thus making a cost effective and certified marketing tool.
