Patent attributes
A system for ordering goods via a vehicle includes a location sensor, an input device to receive a first desired consumable order from a first POS, a network access device, and an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the location sensor, the input device, and the output device. The ECU is designed to determine or predict a first wait time between ordering the first desired consumable order and a corresponding first desired consumable being available for pickup at the first point of sale, determine a first route time corresponding to an amount of time for the vehicle to travel from the current location of the vehicle to the first point of sale, and control the network access device to transmit the first desired consumable order to the first point of sale when the first wait time is within a predetermined amount of time of the first route time.
