Adjustable automatic window tinting for autonomous vehicles

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• subsequent to receipt of a request for a transportation service from an origin to a destination using a vehicle including a plurality of windows comprising electrically switchable smart glass a level of tint of which may be changed by applying an electrical signal thereto, evaluating a plurality of route segments comprising a route between the origin and the destination;
• developing a window tinting plan for the route based on the evaluating;
• and
• implementing the window tinting plan such that a tint level of at least one of the windows of the vehicle is automatically and proactively adjusted throughout the transportation service based on the window tinting plan,
• wherein the window tinting plan includes reducing the tint level of the at least one of the windows of the AV as the AV approaches the destination.

A system comprising:

• an autonomous vehicle (AV) for providing transportation from a pick-up location to a destination, the AV having a plurality of windows comprising electrically switchable smart glass, wherein a tint level of the electrically switchable smart glass may be changed by applying an electrical signal thereto;
• and
• an adjustable automatic window tinting (AAWT) module configured to:
• evaluate a plurality of route segments comprising a route between the origin and the destination;
• develop a window tinting plan for the route based on the evaluating;
• and
• implement the window tinting plan by automatically causing a tint level of at least one of the windows of the AV to be adjusted throughout the transportation service in accordance with the window tinting plan,
• wherein the window tinting plan includes adjusting the tint level of the at least one of the windows of the AV based on a status of a passenger of the AV.
