Logistics AI moves past pilots into sorting, fleet and last-mile

Summary

Chinese operators are scaling AI beyond demos: YTO's AI-vision sorting centers now run million-order days with one-third the labour, SF's predictive fleet maintenance cut breakdown downtime 40%, and SF has deployed over 3,200 driverless vehicles across 150+ cities. Single-parcel transport cost fell to 0.36 yuan and centre handling to 0.26 yuan, showing AI is now embedded in equipment and workflows.
