Claim Text:
1. An autonomous neighborhood vehicle comprising: a computer system of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle that is communicatively coupled to a commerce server of a neighborhood communication system through a wireless network to autonomously navigate the autonomous neighborhood vehicle to a destination specified by the commerce server; and a navigation server of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle to provide a remote sensing capability to the autonomous neighborhood vehicle such that the autonomous neighborhood vehicle is autonomously navigable to the destination, wherein the autonomous neighborhood vehicle periodically transmits a heartbeat message to the commerce server having a set of current geo-spatial coordinates of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle, a time stamp, a date stamp, and an operational status of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle, wherein the autonomous neighborhood vehicle is in a form of autonomous neighborhood bicycle having a detachable storage compartment thereon, and having an ability to driverlessly traverse through bicycle lanes adjacent to a roadway based on commands from the commerce server, wherein the autonomous neighborhood vehicle utilizes a sensory fusion algorithm through which at least some of an ultrasound, a radar unit, a light sensor, a LIDAR unit, a wheel encoding sensor, an accelerometer sensor, a gyroscopic sensor, a compass sensor, and a stereo optical sensor operate in concert to provide a three dimensional environmental view of an environment surrounding the autonomous neighborhood vehicle to the autonomous neighborhood vehicle, wherein the autonomous neighborhood vehicle automatically generates an emergency broadcast message to a set of neighbors in a geo-spatial vicinity of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle when the autonomous neighborhood vehicle detects a failure condition comprising at least one of an impact, a mechanical failure, an electrical failure, and a damage condition, wherein the emergency broadcast message includes at least one of a photo data, a geo-spatial coordinates data, a video data, an audio data, a timeout condition of a heartbeat message receipt at the commerce server, and a textual data associated with the failure condition, wherein the autonomous neighborhood vehicle automatically parks itself in a garage structure associated with an operator of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle adjacent to a passenger vehicle, wherein the operator is at least one of an individual, a family, a business, an owner, and a lessee, wherein a storage compartment is temperature regulated to maintain a temperature of an item in transit between a starting address associated with at least one of a merchant and a neighbor in a neighborhood in a geospatial vicinity of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle, and a destination address associated with a recipient of the item in the neighborhood in the geospatial vicinity of the autonomous neighborhood vehicle, wherein a neighborhood boundary is defined through a neighborhood boundary data provider, wherein the commerce server:
