How best could an autonomous THR3 robot driver / delivery person/robot could drive this 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan (and other Sienna vans, in all 200 countries) and make deliveries to prospective WUaS students' homes (matriculating for free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees) in all ~200 countries and in their main languages), on behalf of the WUaS Educational Services' Stores .... and especially of WUaS Lego Robotics' kits (such as Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits for students interested in matriculating in to World Univ & Sch for free online degrees from home) ...

Dear Mr. (Dich) Tran, Mr, (Raj) Ramaswamy (your new? manager last time I was in Toyota Palo Alto), All,  

Thank you for your email just now about my INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan's license plates, and see PS. Greetings from near Canyon 94516, and am just departing for Toyota Palo Alto. I'm not sure why you couldn't reply to my text message yesterday on your day off either ... Security reasons even come to mind?

My ETA per Gmaps at Toyota Palo Alto is AROUND 3:30 driving around the south end of the SF South Bay's bay itself.

Looking forward to getting the metal CA license plates from you today, and potentially making the internet available on the vehicle's Multimedia Package screen behind the moonroof. Will you or the technicians need anything besides possibly the remote control for the Multimedia Package screen behind the skylight?

Brainstorming, any chance I or Toyota Palo Alto could install Waymo Robotic Car technologies into this incredible 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan ... say at the end of the 3 year lease. Or any chance in 2 or 3 years that an autonomous THR3 robot driver / delivery person/robot could drive this 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan (and other Sienna vans, in all 200 countries) to make deliveries to prospective WUaS students' homes (matriculating for free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees) in all ~200 countries and in their main languages), on behalf of the WUaS Educational Services' Stores .... and especially of WUaS Lego Robotics' kits (such as Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits for students interested in matriculating in to World Univ & Sch for free online degrees from home)? ... Something for a developing conversation with you, Raj, and all at Toyota Palo Alto.

A further question: Is BAY AREA FASTRAK hardware technology built into this car and if so may I connect this with the Bay Area Fastrak web site, say for paying tolls in going over SF Bay Area bridges?

Dear Mr. (Dich) Tran, Mr, (Raj) Ramaswamy (your new? manager last time I was in Toyota Palo Alto), All, 

Great to see you and thanks for installing the metal CA license plates on this Sienna Woodland Minivan - 

Following your thinking at your desk, I Google searched on something related 

"How to connect the internet with Cloud Connect, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto on a 2025 Sienna XLE Woodland Edition to the Multimedia Package screen entertainment system?"

Found this ... 
and used it I think to synchronize the Android Auto app on my smartphone - and with adding a SECURITY CODE step - in the front seat to the front screen ... (AND I also downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store Apple Car Play for Android auto app) - 

How To: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on Toyota's New Audio Multimedia System | Toyota
https://youtu.be/r-znruWBzs0

And then I also found this Youtube video (per your suggestion, Dich, too)
and it suggests, for connecting the back screen to the Internet, to further connecting my MacBook Air laptop via a HDMI cable to the vehicle from my laptop C-port I think, then using my smartphone as a wifi hotspot for my laptop, and thus being able to view the Internet on the back screen/
So now I think I need to get a physical HDMI-to-USB-C-port cable (on laptop) ... and this should work ...
How to Connect Your Device to the Sienna Entertainment Display

Heading off to get a HDMI-to-USB-C cable ... 

Thanks so much for your replies to my other questions too ... and more later. 

Am up to 36.8 mpg total average over 6099 miles driven ... and well above the 36 highway / 34 city mpg written on Toyota Sienna Woodland forms ... INCREDIBLE mileage for a fairly heavy Sienna Woodland vehicle that can tow 3500 pounds especially. 

Thanks so much, 
Scott

Hi David, 

How are you?

A Flicka 20 sailboat (for east and west coasts)? Trailerable at possibly 2500 lbs ... 

Explore the Elizabeth islands and Menemsha Nantucket Rhode Island and pretty ports all around there?'

With a wet bath with shower head and spinnaker (for speed)? And even to use the wet bath with shower head a marine supply outfit might install out of the water too ... and while traveling across the country even? And a 10 hp outboard. 

What kind of dinghy I wonder? 

A "Sevylor inflatable canoe (below) which was affectionately known as 'The Crocodile'

when deflated it took up very little space and fit under the v berth on my Flicka. Secondly, it was easy to paddle in a strong wind"

https://www.flicka20.com/articles-flicka-dinghies

But I think I might seek a dinghy that can work with a 2nd outboard motor as back up AND possibly fit under  v berth on a Flicka 20. Some kind of more flat bottomed tiny Zodiac dinghy with a tiny outboard?

Thoughts?

Cheers, best regards, Happy Easter,
Scott
