摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for autonomous data download. The method includes the steps of navigating an autonomous data download device to a first data storage device located in a mobile vehicle and parking the autonomous data download device adjacent to the first data storage device. The method further includes the steps of connecting the autonomous data download device to the first data storage device and downloading data from the first data storage device to the autonomous data download device. The method thereafter includes the steps of navigating the autonomous data download device to a location determined to be suitable for transmission of the data and transmitting the data from the autonomous data download device to a second data storage device after determining that the autonomous data download device has reached the location determined to be suitable for transmission of the data.
