Abstract: The present invention relates a package securing system comprising a package receptacle having an access door, a web-enabled control system, and a securing tether that is attached to the access door. The securing tether is operationally related to the securing tether actuator and repositions the access door in an open or a closed position. Upon receipt of an authorization, the access door transitions to the open position, by way of the securing tether. The open position allows the package to be inserted or removed from the package receptacle. The package is secured by transitioning the access door to the closed position, by way of the securing tether, after the package has been inserted into the package receptacle. An autonomous vehicle equipped with a vehicle web-enabled control system can make package pickups and deliveries. The autonomous vehicle can be a car, truck, drone, or other autonomous vehicles.
