In some embodiments, a system for receiving one or more products comprises a personal vehicle, the personal vehicle including a power source and a removable container, the removable container configured to house the one or more products, the removable container comprising a condition control device, wherein the condition control device is coupled to the power source, and a control circuit, the control circuit configured to receive, from a remote device, an indication of a condition for the removable container and cause the condition control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition.
1 . A system for receiving one or more products sold by a retailer and delivered by delivery agents, the system comprising:
a personal vehicle, the personal vehicle including a power source and a removable container;
the removable container configured to house the one or more products delivered by the delivery agent, the removable container comprising:
a condition control device, wherein the condition control device is coupled to the power source;
a communications device, wherein the communications device is configured to receive, before delivery of the one or more products, delivery information from a remote device, wherein the delivery information includes an indication of a condition for the removable container; and
a control circuit, the control circuit configured to:
determine, based on the delivery information, the condition; and
cause the condition control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition prior to delivery of the one or more products by the retailer; and
the remote device, wherein the remote device is carried by the delivery agent, and wherein the remote device is configured to:
transmit, prior to delivery, the delivery information to the removable container.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the removable container includes two or more sections, and the condition for the removable container includes a first condition for a first of the two or more sections and a second condition for a second of the two or more sections.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the condition is one or more of temperature and humidity.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:
determine an identity of at least one of the one or more products; and
transmit, to the remote device, the identity of the at least one of the one or more products.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote device receives de delivery information from a backend server prior to transmitting the delivery information to the removable container.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the personal vehicle is configured to maintain the power supply while the control circuit causes the control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to notify a customer upon receipt of the one or more products.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote device is a mobile device.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to cause the condition control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition before the one or more products are received.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the removable container pairs with the vehicle.
11 . A method for receiving one or more products sold by a retailer and delivered by delivery agents, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a remote device prior to delivery of the one or more products by the retailer, delivery information to a removable container, wherein the delivery information includes an indication of a condition, and wherein the removable container is in a personal vehicle, and wherein the remote device is carried by a delivery agent;
receiving, at the removable container, the one or more products;
determining, by a control circuit based on the delivery information, the condition for the removable container;
supplying, by a power source to a condition control device associated with the removable container, power; and
causing, by the control circuit, the condition control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition prior to delivery of the one or more items by the retailer.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the removable container includes two or more sections, and wherein the condition for the removable container includes a first condition for a first of the two or more section and a second condition for a second of the two or more conditions.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the condition is one or more temperature and humidity.
14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining, by the control circuit, an identity of at least one of the one or more products; and
transmitting, by the control circuit, the identity of the least one of the one or more products.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the remote device receives the delivery information from a backend server prior to transmitting the delivery information to the removable container.
16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining that the power source needs to be replenished; and
providing, by the personal vehicle power to the power source.
17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the control circuit, a notification to a customer upon receipt of the one or more products.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the causing the condition control device to maintain the removable container with respect to the condition before the receiving the one or more products.
19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the removable container pairs with the vehicle.
