Abstract
Systems and methods herein describe an autonomous vehicle user assignment management system for improving fleet vehicle utilization. The method comprises receiving a first transportation service request from a user device, matching a first autonomous vehicle to fulfill the request, and displaying a permission request for autonomous transportation services on the user device. Upon obtaining user permission, the first autonomous vehicle is instructed to provide the transportation service. When a subsequent transportation service request is received from the same user device, a second autonomous vehicle is matched to provide the service, but the permission request is omitted based on the previously obtained consent. The second autonomous vehicle is then instructed to begin providing the transportation service without requiring additional user permission, thereby reducing user interaction friction and improving operational efficiency in autonomous vehicle fleet management.
