Abstract

An autonomous vehicle for use with an autonomous delivery service that facilitates a service delivery includes: a beacon receiver configured to receive a wireless homing beacon transmitted from a beacon device as a radio frequency (RF) signal that designates a desired delivery location at a service address selected by a subscriber, wherein the wireless homing beacon is modulated by beacon data that identifies the subscriber and includes a pseudo random code sequence generated by a code generator that is recognized by the autonomous vehicle to authenticate the delivery; and wherein the wireless homing beacon is received by the beacon receiver to facilitate the service delivery to the subscriber by the autonomous vehicle at the desired delivery location at the service address selected by the subscriber; an image capture device configured to generate delivery image data captured after the service delivery; and a transmitter configured to transmit the delivery image data captured after the service delivery.
