Lidl has become the first retailer in Germany to test a driverless electric truck, operating it autonomously over a short stretch of road. The trial, conducted in collaboration with technology partners, marks a significant step toward integrating autonomous delivery vehicles into urban logistics. The truck, designed for low-speed, high-frequency routes, could help streamline last-mile deliveries while reducing labor costs. Industry observers are watching closely as retailers explore automation to improve efficiency in densely populated areas.
