Abstract
A method including sending a communication to a user device associated with the user and receiving, at the autonomous vehicle, an audible authentication code. The communication can include a location of the autonomous vehicle. The location can be effective to assist the user device to audibly provide guidance from a location of the mobile device to the location of the autonomous vehicle. The audible authentication code can be effective to assist an authentication process between the autonomous vehicle and the user.
Claims20
An autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- a communication system configured for communicating with a user of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- a computing system that is in communication with the communication system, wherein the computing system comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- send a communication to a user device associated with the user, the communication including a location of the autonomous vehicle, the location effective to assist the user device to audibly provide guidance from a location of the mobile device to the location of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- receive, at the autonomous vehicle, an audible authentication code, wherein the audible authentication code is effective to assist an authentication process between the autonomous vehicle and the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by one or more processors cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
- sending a communication to a user device associated with the user, the communication including a location of the autonomous vehicle, the location effective to assist the user device to audibly provide guidance from a location of the mobile device to the location of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- receiving, at the autonomous vehicle, an audible authentication code, wherein the audible authentication code is effective to assist an authentication process between the autonomous vehicle and the user.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- sending a communication to a user device associated with the user, the communication including a location of the autonomous vehicle, the location effective to assist the user device to audibly provide guidance from a location of the mobile device to the location of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- receiving, at the autonomous vehicle, an audible authentication code, wherein the audible authentication code is effective to assist an authentication process between the autonomous vehicle and the user.
