Zusammenfassung:A control circuit dynamically controls the routing of an autonomous package-delivery terrestrial vehicle configured to simultaneously carry a plurality of packages be variously delivered to a plurality of different address to accommodate a disrupted delivery of at least one of the plurality of packages. The disruption of a delivery can be detected, for example, as a function of a passage of time and/or a message from an intended recipient of at least one of the plurality of packages. Per these teachings, the control circuit can route the vehicle to a different one of the plurality of differentaddresses to effect delivery of a second one of the plurality of packages followed by routing the vehicle back to the first delivery address to complete the delivery that had been previously disrupted. 控制电路动态控制自主包裹递送陆地车辆的路线选择,该自主包裹递送陆地车辆配置成同时携带多个包裹,该多个包裹以不同方式递送到多个不同地址,以适应多个包裹中的至少个的中断递送。递送的中断能够例如作为时间的推移和/或来自多个包裹中的至少个的预计接收方的消息的函数来检测。按这些教导,控制电路能够将车辆选择路线到多个不同地址中的不同个地址,以实现多个包裹中的第二个包裹的递送,之后接着将将车辆选择路线回到第递送地址,以完成先前已中断的递送。
