A computing system, comprising:

• a data store, wherein the data store comprises a plurality of accounts each associated with different identification information;
• a processor;
• and
• memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
• receiving a request for a trip of a passenger in an autonomous vehicle, wherein the request includes identification information specifying an identity of the passenger;
• responsive to receiving the request, determining whether a predefined parent-child link exists between an account corresponding to the identification information of the passenger and a second account associated with a second person, wherein the predefined parent-child link indicates a parent-child relationship between the passenger and the second person, wherein the predefined parent-child link is defined between the account corresponding to the passenger maintained by the computing system and the second account prior to receipt of the request for the trip of the passenger in the autonomous vehicle, wherein the account corresponding to the identification information of the passenger includes a predefined location defined in the account maintained by the computing system prior to receipt of the request;
• and
• responsive to detecting the predefined parent-child link and the passenger comprising the child in the parent-child relationship, setting the predefined location as a pick-up location for the trip of the passenger in the autonomous vehicle.
