Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system and method for facilitating autonomous delivery using a delivery assembly transported by an autonomous vehicle, the system and method can include determining a location of the delivery assembly and in response to determining the location of the delivery assembly, configuring a user interface to facilitate the autonomous delivery. The user interface has at least a point of origination configuration and a user configuration. In addition, the user interface can authenticate a user, allow the user to access one or more cubbies of the delivery assembly, and inform the user through one or more indicators on the user interface that the user can access a specific cubby.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system and method for facilitating autonomous delivery using a delivery assembly transported by an autonomous vehicle, the system and method can include determining that one or more items have been placed inside a specific cubby of the delivery assembly, capturing an image of the one or more items inside the specific cubby, and communicating the captured image to a customer user. In some examples the captured image is a video of the one or more items inside the specific cubby and the captured image is communicated a user's mobile device associated with the customer user.

Abstract: An AV receives a delivery request made by a user. The AV navigates to the user's location. The AV's onboard controller determines that the AV has arrived at the location. The onboard controller then commands the AV's motor to pause motion. The onboard controller provides the user an access to a delivery assembly in the AV. The onboard controller or the delivery assembly detects, by using sensors in the delivery assembly, whether an item has been removed from or placed into the container. Subsequent to detecting that the item has been removed from or placed into the container, the onboard controller commands the AV's motor to resume motion. The onboard controller or delivery assembly may also control a movable element in the container to allow the user to load or unload the item from a safe spot or control a divider in the container to protect the user's privacy.

Abstract: FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 3 is a back elevational view of the user interface module for delivery by an autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 4 is a right-side elevational view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 6 is a top view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle;
FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle; and,
FIG. 8 is a front perspective view of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle, shown in its environment.
The broken lines in FIGS. 1-8 that depict portions of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle form no part of the claimed design. The remaining broken lines shown in FIG. 8 are for the purpose of illustrating the environment of the user interface module for delivery by autonomous vehicle and form no part of the claimed design.

Abstract: A delivery container is designed to fit into the rear passenger compartment of a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle (AV) that makes deliveries without a human driver. The delivery container has a drawer that can move from one side of the delivery container near a first rear door to the other side of the delivery near the opposite rear door. A single load of items can be accessed from the same side of the AV, or two different loads may be accessed from the same side. The drawer can automatically or manually move items from one side of the vehicle to the other.
