Zusammenfassung:	A deployment mechanism and a delivery container enabling unattended delivery of cargo by a vehicle navigating autonomously on both vehicle lanes and pedestrian ways. A trailer for an autonomous vehicle for hauling additional cargo and power supplies. A method for delivering and picking up goods using delivery trucks, autonomous vehicles, and trailers. The deployment mechanism can include a crane, a robot arm, a forklift, straps, and sails. The delivery container can include visible, partly visible, or hidden security features and grasping features, and can be foldable and stackable. The trailer can include a 4-bar linkage, the 4-bar linkage enabling consistent pitch between the trailer cargo and a cargo hold of the towing vehicle. The trailer wheels are decoupled from the 4-bar linkage, connected by swing arms and possible shock absorbers. The trailer can buffer fore/aft movement of the trailer. Un mecanismo de despliegue y un contenedor de entrega que permite la entrega desatendida de carga mediante un vehículo que navega de forma autónoma tanto en carriles para vehículos como en vías para peatones; un remolque para un vehículo autónomo para transportar carga adicional y suministros de energía; un método para entregar y recoger mercancías mediante camiones de reparto, vehículos autónomos y remolques; el mecanismo de despliegue puede incluir una grúa, un brazo robótico, un montacargas, correas y velas; el contenedor de entrega puede incluir características de seguridad y características de agarre visibles, parcialmente visibles u ocultas, y puede ser plegable y apilable; el remolque puede incluir un varillaje de 4 barras, permitiendo el varillaje de 4 barras un paso constante entre la carga del remolque y la bodega de carga del vehículo de remolque; las ruedas del remolque están desacopladas del varillaje de 4 barras, conectadas mediante brazos oscilantes y posibles amortiguadores; el remolque puede amortiguar el movimiento hacia adelante y hacia atrás del remolque.
