Your Project Management Experience

What do you see?

Beer shipment is first commercial delivery by self-driving truck

!  November 2016

!  Autonomous Vehicle company Otto (owned by Uber)

!  Truck drove >120 miles along an open highway without any driver for Anheuser-Busch (AB)

!  Shipped 51,744 cans of Budweiser beer from Fort Collins to Denver to Colorado Springs, Colorado

Fort Collins to Denver to Colorado Springs

How it works?

!  Professional driver drives when not on the highway

!  On the highway, the truck autonomously controlled its own acceleration, braking, and steering while the driver monitored from the back

!  Uses cameras, radar, and “Lidar” – works on the same principles as radar but uses light from lasers instead of radio waves

Benefits?

!  Reduces road fatalities

!  Would not replace a driver, but allows them to rest, even sleep, during long stretches of highway travel

!  Would extend the number of productive hours they could work without compromising safety

!  In effect, addresses driver shortages

Failed Project

!  #chickensad

!  Jollibee system migration – Oracle to SAP

!  Outsourced to a large multinational IT service provider with no sizable local team

!  Operating schedule of just a year

!  PHP 500M for the new IT system

!  Jollibee lost 6% of its sales for the first 7 days of August = PHP 92M
