A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a request to activate a vehicle, receive diagnostic data for one or more vehicle components from an activation component, arbitrate the request and the diagnostic data to identify an activation mode of the vehicle that is one of an unpowered mode, a power-up mode, or a fully-started mode, and instruct the activation component to activate one or more vehicle components associated with the identified activation mode.

Enhanced vehicle activation

A scheduling server is programmed to register terminals for autonomous vehicle use by allocating both capabilities and available times of the terminals to the server; identify a service to perform to an autonomous vehicle using data received from the vehicle; and send a waypoint to the vehicle directing the vehicle to arrive at an identified one of the terminals having capability to perform the service during the available times of the identified terminal.
