Abstract
The destination for a drone is dynamically deteremined. In the context of a method, location-related data may be collected with a drone. After having collected at least some of the location-related data, a destination for the drone is determined based at least in part upon a location of the drone. The drone is then caused to travel from the location to the destination. In some instances, the drone may travel toward the destination by being carried by a vehicle that is traveling along a route toward the destination.
