Driverless Cars - How About Autonomous garbage trucks, postal jeeps and military convoys first?

The work is now done with autonomous cars is absolutely awesome, and I would say it's about time, as they save lives, improve efficiency and eliminate costs , In fact, I'd like a few minutes to take discuss some applications, the faster the wear could bring this technology, and allow citizens to observe its value, as they come to accept it.

There was an interesting piece on 5 April 2013 in preparation News Online Title; "Race To Build Driverless Cars Is In Full Throttle" by Rick Montgomery, of the Kansas Star reposted and I would say that this will be good news from a technological standpoint and for the American companies on the leading edge of these future innovations. If we see more autonomic features in our cars; Self parking functions, automatic stopping, pedestrian avoidance and lane departure has probably no stretch of the imagination that we are completely autonomous cars could sold within ten years see.

I personally think the best place to start with autonomous vehicle technology in military convoys is, delivery USPS mail and for waste or garbage trucks. There was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal on September 6, 2011 titled; "Garbage trucks pick up fuel economy" by James R. Hagerty, who found all the modern features in today's refuse collection vehicles and as millions stored in an increase of efficiency companies. Well, with all these fantastic garbage pickup technology, one might ask why we need a driver at the age of autonomous vehicles?

The garbage truck can easily identify the garbage cans, the sensors can ensure that they picked up correctly, and we have all the technologies for collision avoidance available, why not start there and end with USPS mail delivery. Delivering the mail by robot is also useful to the vehicle to the same houses goes and puts the e-mail in the same mailboxes daily, this is the kind of repetition is that robots do very well, even older technology, and AI systems will only get better, as they are used.

Eventually, you'll be able to get robots special delivery where the robot comes to the door and knocks and records electronically delivery. This would be easy with the next generation of technology if we master the e-mail. I also the last time the United States Postal Service was tested really in the red and needed a way to reduce costs, well, this kind of automation would definitely help, and Google has the car for you! Please consider all this and think about it.
