Our invention "IFAC- Driver Less Vehicle" is a method and computer program product intelligently drives a IFAC- driver less vehicle to a service facility and one or more processors receive sensor readings from a IFAC- driver less vehicle equipment maintenance sensor on the IFAC- driver less vehicle. The IFAC- driver less vehicle equipment maintenance sensor detects a state of equipment on the IFAC- driver less vehicle indicative of a need for maintenance service for the IFAC- driver less vehicle and the processor(s) identify a service facility capable of providing the maintenance service and determine an amount of time required for the IFAC- driver less vehicle to travel to and from a current location of the IFAC- driver less vehicle to the service facility and to receive the maintenance service. The IFAC- driver less vehicle also include the processors identify a time window in which a user of the IFAC- driver less vehicle will not need the IFAC- driver less vehicle and then direct the IFAC- driver less vehicle to autonomously drive to the service facility during the time window in which the user of the IFAC- driver less vehicle will not need the IFAC- driver less vehicle. The IFAC- driver less vehicle comprises an IFAC- driver less vehicle equipment maintenance sensor a processor a computer readable memory, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. Stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage medium are first program instructions to receive sensor readings from an IFAC- driver less vehicle equipment maintenance sensor on the IFAC- driver less vehicle, where the IFAC- driver less vehicle equipment maintenance sensor detects a state of equipment on the IFAC- driver less vehicle indicative of a need for maintenance service. The IFAC- driver less vehicle second program instructions to identify a service facility capable of providing the maintenance service and third program instructions to determine an amount of time required for the IFAC- driver less vehicle to travel to and from the service facility to a current location of the IFAC- driver less vehicle and to receive the maintenance service and fourth program instructions to identify a time window in which a user of the IFAC- driver less vehicle will not need the IFAC- driver less vehicle and fifth program instructions to direct the IFAC driver less vehicle to autonomously drive to the service facility during the time window in which the user of the IFAC- driver less vehicle will not need the IFAC- driver less vehicle. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth program instructions are stored on the non transitory computer readable storage medium for execution by one or more processors via the computer readable memory.
