Third-party vehicle operator sign-in

A computer-implemented method to authenticate a vehicle operator for an autonomous vehicle on a vehicle service platform, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a computing system including one or more computing devices, authentication request data indicative of an authentication request, the authentication request data including at least an operator identifier associated with the vehicle operator, a vehicle identifier associated with the autonomous vehicle, a first operator code associated with the authentication request, and a first vehicle code associated with the authentication request;
• using, by the computing system, the vehicle identifier to determine a security tier associated with the autonomous vehicle;
• determining, by the computing system, an authentication procedure for the autonomous vehicle, the determining of the authentication procedure being based at least in part on the security tier associated with the autonomous vehicle;
• based at least in part on the authentication procedure, providing, by the computing system, a service code associated with the authentication request to the autonomous vehicle associated with the vehicle identifier;
• obtaining from a user device associated with the operator identifier, by the computing system in response to providing the service code to the autonomous vehicle, operator data associated with the authentication request, the operator data including a second operator code;
• determining, by the computing system, an intermediate result based at least in part on the second operator code and the first vehicle code;
• obtaining from the autonomous vehicle, by the computing system, an authentication result associated with the authentication request based at least in part on the intermediate result;
• and
• providing, by the computing system, the authentication result to the user device.

A computer-implemented method to authenticate a vehicle operator for an autonomous vehicle operated by a third-party entity on a vehicle service platform to provide a vehicle service, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a computing system including one or more computing devices, authentication request data indicative of an authentication request, the authentication request data including at least an operator identifier associated with the vehicle operator and a vehicle identifier associated with the autonomous vehicle;
• using, by the computing system, the vehicle identifier to determine a security tier associated with the autonomous vehicle;
• determining, by the computing system, an authentication procedure for the autonomous vehicle, the determining of the authentication procedure being based at least in part on the security tier associated with the autonomous vehicle;
• determining, by the computing system, a validity of the authentication request, the determining of the validity of the authentication request being based at least in part on the authentication procedure;
• determining, by the computing system, an authentication result associated with the authentication request based at least in part on the validity of the authentication request, the authentication result indicative of whether the vehicle operator is authorized to provide secondary control of the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• providing, by the computing system, the authentication result to a user device associated with the operator identifier.
