The autonomous world is already a reality in our daily lives and the tendency is for more and more things to be carried out without human intervention. What until a few years ago seemed like something futuristic or something from a science fiction movie, is now part of our daily lives.

Uma Article published on the Market & Consumer portal provides interesting data, from research conducted by Gartner. According to the publication, around 333,000 vehicles with semi-autonomous driving were sold during 2019.

In the coming years, autonomous cars should become a reality on the streets. Google is one of the giants of Technology who is going to great lengths to make this happen as soon as possible.

In addition to transportation, other areas, such as convenience stores, are increasingly tending to become autonomous.

Autonomous World: The Trends and News for Our Routine

Next, we will present the main trends and news that are making the world increasingly autonomous. Check and reflect on how this affects our daily routine.

Autonomous cars

We talked earlier about autonomous cars, which are generally the first thing that comes to people's minds when talking about activities done without human interference.

A report developed by Statista, presented at the event Urban Mobility Summit 2020, says that by 2030, one out of every ten cars that circulate on the streets will be autonomous.

These vehicles don't need a driver, a person to take the wheel and guide them through the streets. All you have to do is access a panel, enter the address where you want to arrive and the car will take you to the place, without having to provide any coordinates.

It may seem strange, but if you stop to think, a child born today may not need to obtain a driver's license when they turn 18. Until then, autonomous cars will be part of our daily lives.

Autonomous plans

Like road transport, airlines are also already testing to launch new products, which will make our world autonomous. According to a Article from Olhar Digital, the startup Xwing has already carried out autonomous takeoff tests on airplanes.

The idea is that, like cars, airplanes don't need pilots to fly. According to the publication, the company has already obtained the Part 135 air carrier certificate and is due to start commercial cargo flight operations in the coming months.

Would you dare to fly a plane without a pilot in the cockpit? It's good to start getting used to the idea now, because this will be a reality in the coming months.

Virtual assistants

Leaving the transportation area and moving to the service area, we also have changes in the autonomous world that we are beginning to experience. Examples of this are virtual assistants, such as Alexa, from Amazon, and Siri, from Apple.

These are voice command systems that can be inserted into speakers and that help the user with everyday tasks, as if it were a desk, who stays there to remember appointments and obligations.

Alexa, for example, can set alarms to remind you when you need to wake up or fulfill an appointment. It can also provide information about the weather forecast, play music lists, talk about the traffic situation in a particular location, etc.

Virtual assistants make people's daily lives much more practical and autonomous. You may not even use such services yet, but it is very likely that you will surrender to the voice command facilities in some time.

Irrigation systems

Agriculture is an area that is having a major impact in the new autonomous world. Smart irrigation systems are examples of this.

On large farms, intelligent irrigation systems are already in place, which water the plantations automatically when they identify that the soil is dry, for example. Thus, in periods of rain, when fields are naturally wet, farmers can save on water bills.

Stand-alone convenience stores

Without a doubt, one of the novelties of the autonomous world that is closest to our reality are the Convenience stores. In Brazil, Onii is one of the pioneers in this segment.

Standalone convenience stores can work in any location, such as businesses, schools, colleges, theaters, Condominiums, coworkings, etc. The idea is that the spaces serve to meet the specific demands of the people who are in that place.

In the case of Onii, for example, stand-alone convenience stores work even inside containers. The spaces are accessed through a Application, which the user must download to their cell phone.

The app scans a QR Code on the store door handle, causing the door to open. Inside the store, there are no attendants and it is the consumer himself who takes the products he wants and makes the payment.

This is also done with the app on the cell phone! The user must scan the barcodes of the items and place them in a virtual cart. At the end of the process, the purchase is finalized and payment is made with a registered credit card.

Did you like to know more about the autonomous world? Are you ready for these new things that are emerging? All of them serve to make our daily lives much more practical and are worth trying, as we have the opportunity.
