Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for redirecting a self-driving vehicle (SDV) to a physical location of a product provider, the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a self-driving vehicle (SDV) on-board computer on an SDV, a current location and a planned route to an initial destination of the SDV; receiving, by the SDV on-board computer, information describing a real-time physiological state of one or more occupants of the SDV; identifying, by the SDV on-board computer, a physical location of a product provider that provides a solution to ameliorate the real-time physiological state of the one or more occupants of the SDV; altering, by the SDV on-board computer, the planned route of the SDV to redirect the SDV on-board computer to autonomously drive the SDV to the physical location of the product provider; retrieving, by one or more processors, a physiological profile of the one or more occupants of the SDV; assigning, by one or more processors, the one or more occupants of the SDV to a cohort of persons, wherein the one or more occupants of the SDV shares more than a predetermined quantity of traits with members of the cohort of persons; receiving, by one or more processors, a rating for multiple product providers that ameliorate the real-time physiological states for members of the cohort of persons, wherein the multiple product providers are within a predefined spatial distance from the SDV; identifying, by one or more processors, a highest rated product provider from the multiple product providers; and further altering, by the SDV on-board computer, the planned route of the SDV to redirect the SDV on-board computer to autonomously drive the SDV to a physical location of the highest rated product provider.
