An autonomous transport device system is enabled for one or more autonomous vehicles and autonomous surface delivery devices. Specific pickup and drop off zones for package delivery and user transport may be defined. The system leverages an artificial intelligence based learning algorithm to understand various environments. Packages may be dropped off in the geofenced areas. In some instances, packages may be stored in hidden areas that are purposely cached local to a likely delivery area. Some areas may be marked for pickup and drop off. Shippers may cache certain packages proximate to locations based on demand, joint distribution centers, and the presence of multiple transport devices including rovers, drones, UAVs, and autonomous vehicles.
