Abstract
Self-driving vehicles have unlimited potential to learn and predict human behavior and perform actions accordingly. Several embodiments described herein include a method of using a vehicle management system to identify a high traffic area and move a self-driving vehicle to meet a rider. Methods also include receiving, by the vehicle management system, a primary pick-up location to meet the rider and detecting, by an antenna of the self-driving vehicle, a number of remote computing devices adjacent the primary pick-up location. Additionally, methods may include determining, by at least one of the vehicle management system and a remote computing device associated with the rider, that the number of remote computing devices exceeds a predetermined remote computing device threshold.
