11 . A method for delivery vehicle content display comprising:

detecting, with a sensor on an unmanned delivery vehicle, data for determining context information associated with the unmanned delivery vehicle during a delivery trip;

causing the unmanned delivery vehicle to travel on a route determined based on prioritizing one or more geographic areas based on comparing demographic information of areas near a direct route with target demographic of one or more selected content items;

causing, with a control circuit and during the delivery trip, a display device on an exterior of the unmanned delivery vehicle to display content comprising a content item selected from a plurality of content items based on the context information; and

updating, with the control circuit, the content displayed on of the display device based on a change in the context information associated with the unmanned delivery vehicle during the delivery trip.

12 : The method of claim 11 , wherein the unmanned delivery vehicle comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle configured to transport a package.

13 : The method of claim 12 , wherein the display device is configured to display the content for viewing from one or more of a ground and a building floor while the unmanned aerial vehicle is in flight.

14 : The method of claim 11 , wherein the unmanned delivery vehicle comprises an unmanned ground vehicle.

15 : The method of claim 11 , wherein the control circuit causes the display device to display content based on instructions received from a remote server via a wireless communication device.

16 : The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, a mobile data transceiver, and a Wi-Fi transceiver.

17 : The method of claim 11 , wherein the context information comprises one or more of: an unmanned delivery vehicle location, an area demographic information, an area environmental condition, an area customer purchase history, a current time, and a current date.

18 : The method of claim 11 , further comprising: causing the unmanned delivery vehicle to travel on a route determined based on prioritizing one or more geographic areas based on one or more of: an area automobile traffic pattern, an area foot traffic pattern, an area building type, an area demographic, and an area flight height clearance.

20 : The method of claim 11 , the plurality of content items comprises one or more of: a product advertisement, a service advertisement, an offer, a restaurant menu, a branding content, a store location, an event reminder, and directions.

21 : A method for delivery vehicle content display comprising:

determining one or more delivery destinations for an unmanned delivery vehicle;

determine a route for the unmanned delivery vehicle based on the one or more delivery destinations;

while the unmanned delivery vehicle is on a delivery trip:

receiving data from a sensor on the unmanned delivery vehicle;

determining a context information associated with the unmanned delivery vehicle based on the data;

selecting a content item from a plurality of content items based on the context information;

causing a display device on an exterior of the unmanned delivery vehicle to display content comprising the content item; and

updating a content displayed on of the display device based on a change in the context information associated with the unmanned delivery vehicle during the delivery trip;

wherein the route is determined based on prioritizing one or more geographic areas based on comparing demographic information of areas near a direct route with target demographics of one or more selected content items.

22 : The method of claim 21 wherein the route is determined based on prioritizing one or more geographic areas based on one or more of: an area automobile traffic pattern, an area foot traffic pattern, an area building type, an area demographic, and an area flight height clearance.
