A future in which machines could manage transport autonomously is very close.
In middle school science, a simple machine is described as something that eases tasks. At low schools levels, the focus is primarily on educating the value even the simplest machines can provide with the insertion of minimal human effort. Now, technology allows us to reach a level of machinery which allows us to create products that ease tasks to a point where human effort is not needed.
Transportation has been a core target of development since the dawn of the wheel.
The wheel was the root of human endeavor into the development of eased transport. Since then, we've pressed forward and developed vehicles that eased journeys on every transport channel. As innovation continues to lead the way for superior solutions in every undustry, transportation is on the verge of entering an era where human effort will not be necessary for movement. One sublet of transport, the movement of goods (logistics), is the pioneer in utilzing hands-free transport from autonomous machines.
Smart Machines
Advancements in IoT technology have made it possible for machines to connect to the internet and communicate to each other. As a result of this, machines can build their own networks of information flow. This has been the key to developing autonomous vehicles: machines that remove human effort from transportation.
A new blockchain project aims to pave the way for advancements in logistics by combining blockchain technology with the abilities of modern day IoT systems. SKYFchain has correctly recognized the opportunity to build a platform that supports payments within vehicles without the need of human intervention.
SKYFchain uses the blockchain to make it possible for AVs to handle entire logistic operations independently.
The IoT sensors embedded in AVs allows them to connect with each other and communicate. This makes it possible for AVs to transfer information like freight origin, destination, weight, etc. to one another. AVs can independently take a shipment and pass it a long a chain of other AVs, thereby building a network of autonomous deliveries managed entirely by machines--almost. The limitation remains on how the AVs will pay or receive money for the transport. This is where blockchain plays its role.
SKYFchain is the key to allowing AVs to make the due payments. SKYFchain provides an ecosystem that mirrors the Internet of Things. As the vehicles' IoT sensors communicate the transport data, SKYFchain's technology simmultaneously initiates and fulfills the payment for the transport. This makes it possible to develop logistic systems that are entirely managed by machines. Computers will accept the order, process it, transport the freight, and handle the payments--human effort becomes completely removed from the transport of goods.
Additional Benefits
The usage of blockchain in supply chains opens the door to many value additives.
Immutable records of transport data, combined with blockchain's transparent nature, make it possible for AVs to permanently and efficiently store freight data that can be easily accessed. This is beneficial for various industries.
Products whose source plays an important role in their value would be verifiable. This makes it possible for consumers to verify product labels, thereby completely removing the possibility of deceptive sales.
Transport paths of any product could be easily accessible. This will make it possible to ensure transport fraud is removed.
In conclusion, the logistics industry stands to greatly benefit from the adoption of blockchain technology. SKYFchain will not only make it possible to make for operations where human effort isn't necessary, but also an era of freight transport where trust wouldn't need to be part of the interactions; the blockchain will shed transparency.

Thats very much possible through the advancement of tech we have now. AI will reign in the market soon.
IoT, AI, blockchain.
Technologies of tomorrow.
While some see in the future Autonomous cars that carry passengers, others say that you should be careful with such rosy forecasts. You need to carefully approach the foresight of the future, because you can make a mistake. The car is one of the few mechanical things people still love. There will always be people who will want to have their own car, although they will also enjoy autopilot on congested highways and other situations.
There will be people in the world who will want to drive and feel the road. Of course, there may be times when they will transfer the autopilot controls. However, they will not buy cars without the possibility of manual control. But still having an autopilot in the car would be a good thing. For example, it will allow people to drive longer than previous generations.
Well said and you make a good point.
Consumer use of AVs is a distant reality but logistics can easily integrate AVs.
If this come to work many people would lose job mostly delivery boys.
This will open up more jobs for the sustainence of the AV delivery network.
But many people will lose their employment
Jobs won't be lost; rather, the scale of jobs will simply shift to new roles involving the AV network.
blockchain technology is very good role for all industries
It will play a good role in most industries but I feel logistics/supply chain are early targets that are ripe for change.
Wheel i would suggest the best invention of man......... Really well described the importance of machines in daily lives of humans...
The end goal is to reduce human effort as much as possible :)
You are really correct my friend
With blockchain technology the world is becoming a better place.
I wish everything can be built on the blockchain.
Great post here @hatu
I don't know about everything, but many industries are heading towards blockchain integration.
Yes
It's a welcome development.
That's good if machine can communicate with each other we can trust them but only if it's work without any bugs.. thanks for the info
The security of the network will be of paramount importance; blockchain enures that.
Innovative post, blockchain will be chain our world.
Certainly!
Your post is very interesting. I like it.
Thank you :)
Really it's true
Yes, this is a real project.
Yes very true. But dont you think it will snatch away employment from people making millions of car drivers jobless. The ideas are revolutionary and accept it that IoT and AI are the tech of the future but humans are far more important and these tech should be used limited. I have put forth my thought, hope it does not upset anyone. I am just worried about unemployment with intro of new tech in all the fields.
curious on how you got a $40 upvote from Tipu
that would be nice .. :)
It is my marketing expense.
this is subject to different opinions, this would only work in developed nations but the beauty of it is that its an advancement in technology that has more pro than cons. thanks for the write up.
Nice information sir
I was waiting for your post to get a single upvote from you
