Abstract
Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems to provide an automated loading device to a computer assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD) vehicle. A loading service control device is to initiate a loading service to load one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle, using an automated loading device. A CA/AD vehicle is to move to a loading area at an appointed time. A mechanical loading unit of an automated loading device is to place one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle. A user device is to receive an input from a user, where the input includes information to generate a request to a loading service control device to load one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle using an automated loading device. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
