The Army Is Speeding Ahead With Self-Driving Medical Transport

The Army used Helicopters in WWII for transport of supplies and soldiers. The Army used Helicopters in Korea for wounded soldiers. The Army used all types of Helicopters in Vietnam, which was called "The Helicopter War". Now, they are the first to consider using driverless vehicles to transport Veteran patients for rehab. Their reasoning is a perfect answer for the transportation problems vets endure, going to and from the VA.

These autonomous vehicles are designed for one mission: transport wounded soldiers.
The Army is the latest organization to venture into the realm of driverless cars, joining the likes of Tesla, Google, Audi, Uber, and many others in tech’s most popular sector. Unlike its corporate counterparts, though, Army leadership isn’t investing in this industry to make morning commutes easier or allow people to chow down burgers in the driver’s seat. They’ve got bigger goals in mind.
