A more daring endeavor by Renault may be its EZ-PRO platform, a fully automated street train with a leading pod followed by a series of driver-less pods that join or leave the leading pod depending on its assigned purpose and destination. The deliverer is no longer the driver but rather a “concierge” whose sole purpose is to supervise and plan pod routes, and provide the final human touch of the delivery process according to customer preferences. This method allows more delivery options and flexibility, as it is no longer dependent of a single deliverer. Independent pods can be parked in assigned areas for self-served parcel pickup, and also be reconfigured into many other usages such as popup stores, coffee shops, and food trucks.
