Example implementations are directed to systems and methods for providing transportation service using an autonomous vehicle (AV) of a third-party system based on multiple stopping locations. A service assignment system receives, from a user, a service request from the user for a transportation service. The system can detect a location of the user and determine whether to share the user location with the third-party system. Based on the determining, the system provides either the user location or a selected pickup location, whereby the selected pickup location is a pickup location determined by the service assignment system or the user. In response to providing the user location or the selected pickup location, the system receives multiple AV stopping locations from the third-party system. An AV stopping location is selected from the multiple AV stopping locations. The AV is then triggered to travel to the selected AV stopping location.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) system is described. The AV system receives a request for a transportation service associated with pickup and drop off (PUDO) locations. The AV system, in response to receiving the request, transmits data representing the PUDO locations to an AV service provider and receives a proposed navigation plan, for an AV, that includes the PUDO locations. The AV system determines whether the proposed navigation plan received from the AV service provider satisfies one or more trip quality criteria. The AV system selectively transmits an offer to the AV service provider to perform the transportation service in response to determining whether the proposed navigation plan received from the AV service provider satisfies the one or more trip quality criteria, the offer comprising the PUDO locations and service quality information corresponding to the one or more trip quality criteria.

A transport network management system identifies a service objective for a plurality of VTOL aircraft and retrieves VTOL data including locations of the plurality of VTOL aircraft. An estimate of demand for transport services to be provided at least in part by one of the VTOL aircraft is generated and routing data for the plurality of VTOL aircraft is determined based on the estimated demand and the service objective. Routing instructions based on the routing data are sent to at least a subset of the VTOL aircraft.

Provided are methods for completing an errand request prior to fulfilling a ride request. Some methods described include obtaining a ride request from a passenger; obtaining an errand request from the passenger, wherein the errand request comprises performing an activity at a third location prior to pickup of the passenger at the first location; planning a route comprising the third location, the first location, and the second location; navigating the planned route to complete the errand request from the passenger at the third location; and navigating the planned route to transport the passenger from the first location to the second location upon completion of the errand request. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

A method for displaying content of a mobility by identification of a riding target, performed by a display device provided in the mobility is provided. The method may comprise determining whether the mobility dispatched according to a call request of a user has entered within a critical distance with respect to a location specified by the user and displaying content related to a riding target on a screen of the display device when the riding target registered by the user is identified using an image sensor mounted on the mobility, when it is determined that the mobility has entered within the critical distance, wherein the riding target and the user are different.

The taxi vehicles are electrified vehicle that can be charged from EVSE. When the pickup location for the taxi vehicle is a standby location where EVSE is installed, a discount amount A is set. When the drop-off location from the taxi vehicle is within the predetermined range from EVSE, the discount amount B is set. The discount amount A+B is set when the pickup location is a standby location where EVSE is installed and the drop-off location is within a predetermined range from EVSE. In order to obtain incentives, users are more likely to get in and out of EVSE, so that recharging times can be efficiently secured.

A system and method for determining a ride fare for a ride in a network-connected autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The system may divide an overall ride fare between the rider, and the enterprise or company at which the rider is employed, where the amounts allocated to each are dependent upon a productivity metric indicating a measure of the work performed by the rider during the ride. Accordingly, the system receives a ride request over a network and calculates an overall ride fare using ride parameters. At the ride's conclusion, the system receives a productivity metric indicating rider productivity enabled by the vehicle's virtual work environment. The system uses the productivity metric to calculate a portion of the overall fare allocated to the rider's account. The virtual environment may include network connectivity, input devices, displays, and cloud-based productivity software. A productivity sensing system generates the productivity metric by monitoring network traffic, or monitoring software application interactions.
