    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for managing communications for a connected vehicle, such as between the connected vehicle and other connected vehicle and/or between the connected vehicle and infrastructure entities, such as providers of services to the connected vehicle. For example, a communication network, such as a network provided by a network carrier, may include various cloud engines or other network-based servers that manage, coordinate, and/or provision communications between the connected vehicle and other parties, such as vehicles, road devices, buildings, and other infrastructure entities.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing drones with access to airborne fulfillment centers (AFCs) and other warehouse facilities are described. For example, the systems and methods perform multiple authentication processes, including a physical authentication process and a virtual or electronic authentication process, when determining whether a drone is authorized to access an AFC. Once authorized, the drone may access the AFC to pick up and/or deliver packages or other products, to recharge, to seek repairs, to be housed, and so on.

    Abstract: Drone-based package delivery infrastructure includes, e.g. a registration system, a mobile application for requesting the delivery drones, multi-factor authentication subsystems (e.g., biometric readers and cameras on the drones), a scheduling coordinator, and a management portal. For example, a delivery drone can be requested via a mobile application. The scheduling coordinator can identify a drone and route it to the pick-up location. Upon nearing the pick-up destination, the drone can turn on a camera and stream the data to a monitoring platform to help identify the person submitting the cargo or anyone who might damage the drone. In addition, once the drone lands, additional authentications may be required to aid in identifying the user. The package may be analyzed for harmful/illegal content. The management portal allows for remote requests for the drones to land for inspection (e.g., by the police or border agents).
