Germany's national postal service Deutsche Post, which also runs one of the world's biggest private logistics firms under the DHL brand, will be the first adopter of NVIDIA's self-driving truck technology. Deutsche Post envisions a near-future in which self-driving vehicles reach the sender's address to pick-up packages (the sender probably inserts the package into an automated machine), after which the truck drives itself to the nearest hub (or the receiver, if they're within the truck's service area). Package deliveries, too, will be handled by automated trucks that vend-out packages to receivers curbside, upon some authentication.
Self-driving urban trucks present an easier way to implement self-driving tech than passenger cars or robo-taxis, as the vehicle [probably] isn't carrying human lives. It only has to care for the human lives on the street. Trucks can also be slower moving vehicles, as they lack the agility of cars. DHL's first self-driving trucks will be retrofitted with self-driving hardware from ZF Friedrichshafen (ZF), which will put NVIDIA Drive PX Pegasus artificial-intelligence drive-computer in the "driver's seat." Given that Drive PX Pegasus will fall in the hands of ZF only by late-2018, one can expect the first automated DHL trucks on the streets only after implementation and rigorous testing. We expect that to be around 2020, if not later.

Mistakes happen, especially with software.
