Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a medium for enabling a self-driving vending machine to cope with a weather environment are proposed. The method comprises: obtaining information about a weather environment of a place where the self-driving vending machine is located; in response to determining that a protective measure needs to be taken according to the information about the weather environment, performing protection for the self-driving vending machine according to a preset protective measure. The technical solution may be applied to avoid the impacts caused by weather factors to the recognition capability of the sensors of the self-driving vending machine and the user's purchasing behaviors, and thereby ensuring normal use of the self-driving vending machine.
