Each autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle comprises one or more compartments configured to contain and secure the assortment of the items to be selected once the summoned autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle arrives to a customer or potential customer.

A managing apparatus for positioning rental vehicles includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the managing apparatus to access model information and location information for a plurality of autonomous vehicles, receive a request including a delivery location and a chosen model for renting, select an autonomous vehicle of the chosen model from among the plurality of autonomous vehicles based on the model information, the location information, and the delivery location, instruct the selected autonomous vehicle to fully-autonomously or semi-autonomously travel to the delivery location, and instruct the selected autonomous vehicle to switch to manual operation mode at the delivery location for manual operation by a vehicle rental customer.

In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided that provide for facilitating delivery, via autonomous ground vehicles, of products ordered by customers of a retailer to physical locations of vehicles designated by the customers.

A method for displaying information on a vehicle-mounted device, the method including the steps of: (i) receiving display input from an advertiser, the display input comprising information to be displayed on the vehicle-mounted device and one or more display parameters; (ii) sending the received display input to a user device of the vehicle-mounted device display system; (ii) approving the received display input for display on the vehicle-mounted device; (iv) sending the approved display input from the user device to the vehicle-mounted device for display; and (v) displaying the approved display input on the vehicle-mounted device.

A vehicle computing device may receive, from a nearby vehicle, a packet with a safety control instruction having a security access code for a vehicle. A processor may be determine whether the security access code is valid and verify a security level associated with the security access code in order to process the safety control instruction.

A method for facilitating a promotion using autonomous vehicles is provided. The method includes extracting requirements for a promotion activity, collecting first sensor data of the promotion activity on a route of a first autonomous vehicle, and determining whether the promotion activity for which the first sensor data is collected is a valid promotion opportunity. If the promotion activity is determined to be the valid promotion opportunity, when a second autonomous vehicle is determined to be traveling on a route passing by a location of the promotion activity, collecting second sensor data of the promotion activity, and determining, based on the second sensor data and the details of the valid promotion opportunity, whether the second sensor data corresponds to the valid promotion opportunity. When the second sensor data is determined to correspond to the valid promotion opportunity, a promotion is provided to a user interface of the second autonomous vehicle.

A vehicle with an integrated advertising system. The vehicle can include a computer, at least one receiver, and a driving control. At least one receiver may be configured to communicate wirelessly, for example with an antenna or satellite. The receiver may receive advertising or retail information pertaining to a good or service, also including housing, a menu, or entertainment opportunities. The advertising or retail information may be communicated to a user within the vehicle, and the user may indicate a desire to purchase the good or service. The user may instruct the computer to drive the vehicle to the location of the good or service autonomously or the user may instruct the computer to purchase the good or service, or both.

Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a universal chassis that may be mounted in the head unit of a vehicle. The chassis may accept one or more modules that each have common dimensions. With a common form factor, the universal chassis is configurable as different modules with different functionality may be inserted into the chassis with ease.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, comprising: a display unit; a wireless communication unit for providing a communication interface for communication with a vehicle or an external server; and a control unit for setting, when reserving a vehicle, an amount of advertisement to be consumed in the vehicle, and for providing fee deduction information, according to the set amount of advertisement, to the display unit.
