Abstract
A transport arrangement system operates to receive a transport request from a user, and to make a selection of a vehicle type for the user based at least in part on a set of criteria associated with the transport request or user information. For example, the determination of whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided can be based at least in part on the destination specified with the transport request.
Claims20
A computer system for operating an autonomous vehicle, the computer system comprising:
- a memory that stores a set of instructions;
- one or more processors which use the set of instructions to:
- make a determination as to whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided for a transport request, based at least in part on a criterion associated with the transport request;
- and
- navigate the autonomous vehicle to at least a first service location associated with the transport request in response to making the determination that the autonomous vehicle is to be provided for the transport request.
A method for arranging transport, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- making a determination as to whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided for a transport request, based at least in part on a criterion associated with the transport request;
- and
- navigating the autonomous vehicle to at least a first service location associated with the transport request in response to making the determination that the autonomous vehicle is to be provided for the transport request.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations that comprise:
- making a determination as to whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided for a transport request, based at least in part on a criterion associated with the transport request;
- and
- navigating the autonomous vehicle to at least a first service location associated with the transport request in response to making the determination that the autonomous vehicle is to be provided for the transport request.
