1. An autonomous delivery box, comprising:
a first memory;
a first processor coupled to the first memory; and
a delivery box configured to house a package,
the autonomous delivery box being configured to travel autonomously between a dispatch base from which the package is dispatched and a handover location at which the package is handed over, and
the first processor being configured to:
authenticate opening permission for a door of the delivery box, and
control whether or not the autonomous delivery box is permitted to travel such that the autonomous delivery box is not permitted to travel in a case in which a travel-permitting condition of the autonomous delivery box has not been satisfied at the handover location, wherein
the first processor is further configured to change an authentication level according to an insured value of the package.
