Augmented reality detection for locating autonomous vehicles

A system for an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive a request for an autonomous vehicle from an application executing on an electronic device;
• dispatch the autonomous vehicle to a location of the electronic device;
• and
• in response to receiving an indication that the autonomous vehicle is within an accessible range of the electronic device, cause an identification signal to be transmitted from the autonomous vehicle, the identification signal being transmitted by the autonomous vehicle for capture by a sensor of the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for programming a processing device to perform steps of:

• receiving a request for an autonomous vehicle from an application executing on an electronic device;
• dispatching the autonomous vehicle to a location of the electronic device;
• and
• in response to receiving an indication that the autonomous vehicle is within an accessible range of the electronic device, causing an identification signal to be transmitted from the autonomous vehicle, the identification signal being transmitted by the autonomous vehicle for capture by a sensor of the electronic device.
