摘要： An autonomous vehicle with a reduced risk of collision during conveyance is provided. The autonomous vehicle docks with a conveyance target and conveys the conveyance target. The autonomous vehicle includes a docking mechanism configured to dock with the conveyance target, a sensor configured to acquire object position data related to a position of an object within a measurement range, and a controller configured to control, based on the object position data acquired from the sensor, the conveyance performed by the autonomous vehicle docked with the conveyance target. The measurement range of the sensor includes at least an area above the autonomous vehicle.
