Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for coordinating the rendezvous of an autonomous automotive vehicle with an ambulance in a fastest manner possible when an emergency medical situation occurs for a passenger in the autonomous automotive vehicle. In order to minimize time delays in providing emergency medical service to the passenger, a safe rendezvous location is selected which requires the shortest travel times for both the ambulance and the autonomous automotive vehicle to meet at a, preferably simultaneous, arrival time.
