Method for item delivery using autonomous driving vehicle

An autonomous driving apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to receive, from a server, a driving request signal including a location of a first terminal and a location of a second terminal and to control a vehicle to reach the location of the first terminal,
• to provide a user of the first terminal with an item storage space, in a case where an authentication completion signal for the user of the first terminal is received from the server after the vehicle reaches the location of the first terminal,
• to control the vehicle to reach the location of the second terminal, in a case where storage of the item is completed, and
• to provide a user of the second terminal with the item, in a case where an authentication completion signal for the user of the second terminal is received from the server after the vehicle reaches the location of the second terminal, wherein the driving request signal is generated when a request for an item delivery service is received from the first terminal to the server;
• a communication unit configured to transmit data to or receive data from the server;
• and
• a memory configured to store the driving request signal.

A method of delivering an item using an autonomous driving vehicle, comprising:

• receiving, from a first terminal, a request for an item delivery service using the autonomous driving vehicle;
• transmitting information of a location of the first terminal to an autonomous driving apparatus, based on the request for the item delivery service;
• performing authentication for a user of the first terminal using authentication information received from the first terminal, in a case where it is determined that the autonomous driving vehicle reaches the location of the first terminal based on location information of the autonomous driving vehicle;
• performing control of the autonomous driving apparatus, to allow the user of the first terminal to store the item in the autonomous driving vehicle, in a case where the authentication for the user of the first terminal is completed;
• transmitting information of a location of a second terminal to the autonomous driving apparatus after the user of the first terminal stores the item;
• performing authentication for a user of the second terminal using authentication information received from the second terminal, in a case where it is determined that the autonomous driving vehicle reaches the location of the second terminal based on location information of the autonomous driving vehicle;
• and
• receiving information as to whether or not the user of the second terminal accepts the item, from at least one of the second terminal and the autonomous driving apparatus.
