A method implemented on an electronic computing device for arranging activities for one or more individuals using an autonomous vehicle (AV) includes receiving a request from a first individual for the AV. An action is initiated to provide the AV to the first individual. One or more activities are provided for the first individual to perform during a trip using the AV. A detection is made as to when the first individual completes one of the one or more activities. A cost of the trip is adjusted based on a completion of the one of the one or more activities.

A system carried by a vehicle for computing tolls that interfaces with vehicle data entry and display components. The system uses these components to display toll-related information and to accept user input for toll-related information. The system may also incorporate vehicle sensors including seat occupancy sensors, infrared sensors and cameras to determine vehicle occupancy for tolling purposes.

A system and method for locating fitness centers within a user's geographic area and gaining access and redeeming time-based memberships to fitness centers through an integrated mobile computer application via a mobile electronic device (e.g., smartphone, electronic tablet). The integrated mobile computer application allows an individual user to purchase a time-based membership (e.g., one day, two day, three day, one week, one month, etc.) from participating fitness centers using the integrated mobile computer application, redeem and activate the time-based membership upon check-in at a selected fitness center, and then continue to subsequently check-in at the selected fitness center throughout the term of the purchased time-based membership. In a preferred embodiment, initial check-in, activation and subsequent check-in at the selected fitness center is achieved through an electronic validation process using the user's mobile electronic device.

A vehicle having at least one vehicle access secured by a first lock and at least one secure area secured by a second lock. The vehicle may also have a receiver configured to receive a command from a remote computing system to unlock the vehicle access or the secure area.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle entry through access point via mobile devices. An example vehicle includes a communication module to detect a first mobile device located in the vehicle, an RFID number determiner to identify a first RFID number associated with the first mobile device and a first RFID reader from an RFID database, and an RFID module to transmit the first RFID number to the first RFID reader to facilitate entry through a first access point.

The disclosed technology provides a delivery trailer to be hitched to an autonomous vehicle for autonomous delivery of packages. The delivery trailer can include sensors to provide data to the autonomous vehicle to which it is to overcome limitations caused by any occlusion of sensors on the autonomous vehicle by the trailer. Furthermore, the present technology addresses several challenges related to autonomous package delivery.

A management system for a Permitting Authorities (PA) or their appointed designee to monitor and track application-based commercial ground transportation (ABCT) providers activities within electronically-enabled geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs, all without the need for specialized hardware such as transponders or other tracking equipment. ABCT Providers transmit location and/or transaction information for ABCT Vehicles within geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs to a clearinghouse. The clearinghouse parses the location and/or transaction information to identify the corresponding PA. The clearinghouse transmits the received information to the corresponding PAs in near real-time and periodically creates invoices for each PA based on the activities taken place within the respective goes-fenced areas.
