US 2024/0256990 A1 · System and Method for Ride Hailing an Autonomous Vehicle by a Third Party

Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for ride hailing an autonomous vehicle by a third party. For example, the method includes: receiving, from a user device associated with a user account of a user for an autonomous vehicle service, (i) a request to add a rider profile associated with a rider other than the user to the user account and (ii) rider information associated with the rider; generating, based on the rider information, the rider profile; receiving, from the user device, a pick-up request associated with (i) the user account and (ii) the rider profile; assigning, based on the pick-up request, an autonomous vehicle to pick-up the rider; and providing, to the autonomous vehicle assigned to pick-up the rider, based on the rider profile, an indication of a type of identification to use to identify the rider and/or unlock the autonomous vehicle when picking-up the rider.
