Abstract
Systems and methods for assisting a user to hail a vehicle using a gesture or application. In one aspect, when a vehicle detects a user hails it with a gesture, it calculates a route and moves to the user autonomously. In another aspect, after a vehicle receives a message from a remote facility, it starts searching for a user nearby and moves to the user autonomously when the user hails it via a gesture or application.
