There are various technologies that are being discussed to improve efficiency in transportation and warehousing, including autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots as well as tracking technologies, such as RFID and Internet of Things (IoT).

• Discuss a current application of one of these emerging technologies, applied in a logistics context, that you consider to be leading edge. This application does not have to be something your firm is implementing (but it can be).
• Discuss the benefits and challenges associated with this application.
• What are the long-term implications of the application (e.g., labor, service, competitive advantage implications), including potential extensions?
• What factors would a firm need to consider in order to determine if the technology application is worthwhile to implement?
