The disclosure describes embodiments for selecting, for a flying autonomous robot (a "flying drone"), a connected vehicle to land on so that a flying range of the flying autonomous robot is improved (e.g., increased). In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by the flying autonomous robot, a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) message including digital data describing the connected vehicle. The method includes modifying a flight path of the flying autonomous robot based on the digital data so that the flight path approaches the connected vehicle.
