Abstract
The present technology pertains to utilizing an autonomous transportation service to deliver items offered for sale in a peer-to-peer marketplace. The peer-to-peer marketplace can include an integration that will offer autonomous transportation and direct a buyer and seller to enter locations for pick-up and drop-off, respectively. The autonomous transportation system can transport the item from the seller to the buyer and avoid many conventional drawbacks of peer-to-peer marketplaces.
