Drones
A drone, in a technological context, is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes). Essentially, a drone is a flying robot. The aircrafts may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.
- With the deficit in truck drivers that is expected to grow, many companies are looking at drones as a way to deliver to customers. Although this can speed up some aspects of the supply chain, there is also possibility of disruption due to breakdown of the drones and government regulation.
