Claim:
1. A communications device operable to enable a user to re-select or re-determine a taxi-start location parameter for a substantially autonomous vehicle to navigate to, the communications device comprising: a user-interface device operable to listen for a first user-input; a first processor coupled to the user-interface device; a non-transient computer-readable storage medium operable to store a plurality of processor-readable programmatic instructions, wherein the plurality of processor-readable programmatic instructions comprises a first set of processor-readable programmatic instructions and a second set of processor-readable programmatic instructions; and the first processor facilitated execution of the first set of processor-readable programmatic instructions includes: registering the first user-input generated at the user-inter-face device, wherein the first user-input signal comprises a second taxi-start location parameter for a substantially autonomous vehicle to navigate to, and wherein the registering and processing of the first user-input comprising the second taxi-start location parameter occurs at a first portion of time between 6 seconds and 5581.2 seconds after the inputting of a first taxi-start location parameter; and wherein a data packet is generated comprising a second taxi-start location parameter data and transforming the data packet into a modulated electromagnetic signal and wherein the second taxi-start location parameter data is operable to be received and processed by a second processor coupled to an intermediate aspect, or received and processed by a third processor coupled to a substantially autonomous vehicle.
