Abstract: An apparatus for autonomous or driverless vehicles to perform pick-up and delivery of packages, parcels, or other cargo with minimal or no human intervention is disclosed. The apparatus at a minimum consists of an opening/closing mechanism for a cargo compartment (trunk, lockbox attached to the vehicle, vehicle cab, etc.), which can be accessed when an encoded electronic signal is received, and then an arm-like device that extends from the compartment to retrieve or drop off cargo activates as instructed by an appropriate signal.
