The Market

According to Allied Market Research, “The autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach $556 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 39%.(1) Contactless, or “touch-free” delivery is in high demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (2,3) Guident believes this increased demand will accelerate the roll-out of land-based delivery drones for food and medicines, to improve their availability and reduce the costs of these deliveries.

“We are very pleased to add Dr.’s Rishe, Radha & Gross to our Science Advisory Board. Their combined experience and knowledge in artificial intelligence software for autonomous vehicles and bioethics will provide valuable insight, as we expand the development of our remote monitoring and control center for AV’s and land-based delivery drones,” said Harald Braun, Chairman & CEO of Guident Ltd.
