Abstract
A system for an autonomous vehicle can receive profile data of a passenger of the autonomous vehicle, the profile data indicating a need of the passenger for audio assistance. Based on the profile data, the system can execute a set of configurations to assist the passenger over a trip duration between a pick-up location and a destination. Execution of the set of configurations can include dynamically monitoring the passenger to determine a state of the passenger, and based on the state of the passenger, output the audio assistance to at least aid the passenger in entering and exiting the autonomous vehicle.

1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile computing device, user input associated with a request for a transportation service for a user, wherein the user is in need of audio assistance for the transportation service;
- communicating, by the mobile computing device, the request for the transportation service to a computing system;
- receiving, by the mobile computing device, data indicating that an autonomous vehicle is to service the request for the transportation service;
- tracking, by the mobile computing device, a location of the autonomous vehicle while the autonomous vehicle is en route to a pick-up location;
- and
- initiating, by the mobile computing device, audio assistance via an application running on the user computing device when the autonomous vehicle is within a predetermined distance or a predetermined time from the pick-up location.
A user device comprising
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving user input associated with a request for a transportation service for a user, wherein the user is in need of audio assistance for the transportation service;
- communicating the request for the transportation service to a computing system;
- receiving data indicating that an autonomous vehicle is to service the request for the transportation service;
- tracking a location of the autonomous vehicle while the autonomous vehicle is en route to a pick-up location;
- and
- initiating audio assistance when the autonomous vehicle is within a predetermined distance or a predetermined time from the pick-up location.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
