automatically determine a logistics robot that delivers the package from the intermediate delivery point to the final delivery destination;
automatically acquire or generate authentication information for automatically confirming authenticity of the logistics robot, the authentication information being automatically used when the logistics robot receives the package from a vehicle that delivers the package to the intermediate delivery point to automatically confirm the authenticity of the logistics robot, the authenticity of the logistics robot indicating that the logistics robot is a correct logistics robot determined for delivering the package;
automatically transmit the authentication information to a vehicle-side system of the vehicle before the logistics robot receives the package;
in response to the authenticity of the logistics robot being not confirmed, automatically receive warning information indicating that the vehicle is unable to confirm the authenticity of the logistics robot; and
in response to the warning information being received,
automatically transmit a signal to the logistics robot for stopping the logistics robot, and
