Bao Bao Car
autonomous delivery service concept
BAO BAO Car is a concept of autonomous goods transportation for inner city in the future
By studying the case, I realise that people’s lives nowadays are quite busy, they are busy working, commuting, back and forth from work and home alos other places like cafe, supermarket, bakery, etc..
These detours are time-consuming. Furthermore, the current delivery service we have in the city is inflexible; customers have to wait all day long for their packages, and they cannot decide where and when their packages should be delivered in real time.
The current market service shows this missing segment of on-demand grocery delivery.

Service
The service shows the general conditions of Bao Bao Car’s concept. It is not only a concept of business-to-customer but also customer-to-customer. It uses a progressive digitalisation of dealers’ assortments and supports small producers and local dealers, who do not have enough market volume to afford their delivery service. These, in turn, benefit from the considerable time savings through reliable delivery. The communication takes place via the app, in which assortments can be compared, orders can be placed, and deliveries can be tracked.
Smart route
In order to make the transport routes as efficient as possible, Bao-Bao Car introduces the concept of smart routing. Bao-Bao Cars stay only in designated areas. They deliver goods like relay race by meeting up at a specific traffic junction, which is calculated as the most efficient point, and exchange goods there.
Exchange system
The exchanging system is built with a shelf and lifts on four sides; they both have electric spherical rollers on their platforms. It moves goods first from a platform to be lifted on the front or back side, then the platform of the lift sticks out and moves the package also to the lift of another Bao-Bao Car. Besides, in order to ensure the exchange process goes smoothly, a magnetic docking system is installed on the bumper of each Bao-Bao Car, so that the process will not be interrupted because of the bumps on the road.
