    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle having a user interface and a computing system that is in communication with the user interface. The computing system may have at least one processor and at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions may cause the at least one processor to output information through the user interface to inform the passenger of an action that the passenger needs to enact prior to the autonomous vehicle beginning to move and determine, based upon an occurrence of the action that the passenger needs to enact, whether the autonomous vehicle is permitted to begin moving.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a vehicle propulsion system, a braking system, a steering system, and a computing system that is in communication with the vehicle propulsion system, the brake system, and the steering system. The computing system can receive an indication an account associated with a passenger of the autonomous vehicle for a trip of the autonomous vehicle includes a predefined parent-child link with a second account. The predefined parent-child link indicates the account associated with the passenger is subordinate to the second account and a parent-child relationship exists between the passenger and a person associated with the second account. Responsive to receiving the indication of the parent-child link and the passenger being the child in the parent-child relationship, the computing system can control the autonomous vehicle to enable a linked account feature that would otherwise be disabled.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle having observational sensors and a computing system. The computing system may have a processor and memory having computer-executable instructions that may cause the processor to determine, based upon a profile of a user, an average amount of time it takes the user to enter or exit the autonomous vehicle. The processor may then cause the observational sensors to detect and observe obstacles around the locations. The processor may also determined, based upon detected objects around the autonomous vehicle and the average amount of time it takes the user to enter or exit the autonomous vehicle, a location to stop to allow the user to enter or exit the autonomous vehicle.

    Abstract: A system having a computing system having at least one processor and at least one memory. The memory may have instructions thereon that cause the at least one processor to receive from a vehicle, data recorded by a sensor of the vehicle regarding attributes associated with an unknown passenger who has engaged in at least a portion of a trip with the vehicle and match the recorded attributes of the unknown passenger to a profile of a known passenger profile in a database of passenger profiles.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive road quality data from at least one vehicle in a fleet of vehicles and determine a route for the at least one vehicle in the fleet of vehicles. The road quality data may be gathered by at least one sensor configured to detect autonomous vehicle movements and orientation. The route may avoid a segment of road that is associated with poor road quality data.
