Abstract
Techniques for item delivery and delivery systems including autonomous delivery vehicles used to identify optimal delivery locations and/or deliver physical items to pedestrians is discussed herein. In some examples, a fleet management system may receive sensor data captured from sensor devices of vehicles of a fleet of vehicles while traversing within an environment. The fleet management system may use the sensor data to identify region(s) of the environment within which a threshold number of pedestrians may be located. Based on identifying a region having a threshold number of pedestrians, the fleet management system may determine how many vehicles of the fleet of vehicles are available to render delivery services to the pedestrians within the region. In some examples, the fleet management system may identify an available vehicle of the fleet of vehicles to which instructions may be sent. Such instructions may include transporting items to pedestrians within the region.
