1. An autonomous or semi-autonomous land vehicle configured to receive a modular unit, the vehicle comprising:
- a) an energy storage device;
b) a communication device;
c) an autonomous or semi-autonomous land propulsion system;
d) a vehicle interior fastener configured to reversibly affix the modular unit to the vehicle;
e) a non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an application comprising;
(i) a navigation module receiving at least a location via the communication device and directing the autonomous or semi-autonomous land propulsion system based at least on the location; and
(ii) a transmission module transmitting an output data, receiving an input data, or both, via the communication device, to a command center; and
f) at least one of;
(i) a vehicle power port configured to transmit power from the energy storage device to the modular unit;
(ii) a vehicle data port communicatively connecting the modular unit and the transmission module;
(iii) a vehicle temperature control system, a cooling port, and a heating port configured to heat the modular unit, cool the modular unit, or both; and
(iv) a vehicle exhaust port configured to receive an exhaust from the modular unit.
