Autonomous vehicles, such as UAVs or cars, provide network access points. User devices connect to the network access points and network access is monitored. User location data is also monitored. A profile of the user is generated from the gathered data. Advertisements are selected based on a profile of the user and the current location of the user. The autonomous vehicles may be distributed geographically to provide a network access to a geographic area. In response to detecting that a user device is moving out of a coverage area of an autonomous vehicle, nearby autonomous vehicles are identified. If the user device is in the coverage area of a nearby autonomous vehicle, the network connection to the user device is transferred to that vehicle. 自动驾驶运输工具例如UAV或小汽车提供网络访问接入点。用户设备连接到网络访问接入点并且网络访问被监测。用户位置数据也被监测。从收集的数据生成用户的配置文件。根据用户的配置文件和用户的当前位置选择广告。自动驾驶运输工具可以在地理上被分布以便提供对地理区域的网络访问。响应于检测到用户设备正从个自动驾驶运输工具的覆盖区域移动出，识别附近的自动驾驶运输工具。如果用户设备在附近的自动驾驶运输工具的覆盖区域中，则到用户设备的网络连接被转移到该运输工具。
