The present invention relates to a technical idea for providing a delivery service on regular and irregular roads using autonomous vehicles. More specifically, the present invention relates to technology in which, on a regular road, a lead vehicle and at least one droid vehicle are coupled to each other and a delivery service is provided based on autonomous driving; and on an irregular road, the coupling between the lead vehicle and the droid vehicle is automatically released and the droid vehicle provides a delivery service by remotely controlling the driving of the droid vehicle by the lead vehicle in the last mile delivery section corresponding to the irregular road. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for providing a delivery service using autonomous vehicles may provide a delivery service on an irregular road where entry of normal vehicles is not allowed and a regular road where entry of small and low-speed vehicles is not allowed and may include a droid vehicle for providing a delivery service using limited autonomous driving performance in a last mile delivery section corresponding to the irregular road; and a lead vehicle for providing a delivery service based on autonomous driving on the regular road, transporting the droid vehicle by being coupled to the droid vehicle on the regular road, and remotely controlling driving of the droid vehicle after being separated from the droid vehicle in the last mile delivery section.
