News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Prior art goods delivery uses traditional motor vehicles, such as vans. An individual van driver is allocatedparcels for delivery in a defined geographical delivery area. He or she packs the van with parcels at adepot (distribution centre). For ease of extraction, the driver loads the parcels into the van onto a simpleloading platform in the van. The van driver generally has a preferred route to and through the deliveryarea which he or she follows for delivery every day, stopping the van and unloading a parcel (or parcels)at each consumer delivery location. The route to the delivery area may be straightforward, but the travelwithin a delivery area (in the so-called “last mile” before delivery) and delivery process is time consumingand inefficient. In general, the driver navigates to the next delivery location, parks the van somewherenearby, unloads the parcel from its position on the van rear loading platform, takes it for delivery to theconsumer, and then walks back to the van’s parking position.
