Abstract: Provided is a system including: a first vehicle equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication; and a second vehicle that transports the first vehicle and a user holding a terminal for mobile communication. The system further includes a control unit configured to acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generating a command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an autonomous traveling vehicle having a loading space for loading a package and/or a user. The autonomous traveling vehicle includes: a partition apparatus for performing switching between a partitioned state where the loading space is partitioned into a plurality of spaces separated from each other and a communicating state where the loading space forms one continuous space; and a control unit that controls the partition apparatus such that the loading space is brought into the communicating state when only any one of the package and the user is loaded in the loading space and the loading space is brought into the partitioned state when both of the package and the user are loaded in the loading space.

Abstract: An information processing system that manages traveling of a plurality of autonomous vehicles when the autonomous vehicles travel in a platoon is provided. Each of the autonomous vehicles is equipped with a motor, and an operation source as a substance consumed for operating the motor. The information processing system includes a controller configured to obtain a parameter correlated with an operation source remaining amount as a remaining amount of the operation source installed on each of the autonomous vehicles, and determine a traveling order of the autonomous vehicles traveling in the platoon, based on the parameter of each of the autonomous vehicles.
