Abstract:
A vehicle includes a platform disposed on the roof of the vehicle for landing/launching an autonomously free-flying drone where the drone is set up and designed to receive/deliver and transport an object. A first device determines a current position of the platform and/or the vehicle and a communication device directly or indirectly transmits data from the vehicle to the drone. The communication device transmits at least the current position of the platform and/or the vehicle to the drone.
