1. An autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising:
- a configurable interior system;
a sensor system to generate sensor data corresponding to a situational environment of the AV;
acceleration, steering, and braking systems; and
a control system executing instructions that cause the control system to;
receive, over one or more networks from a transport facilitation system, (i) a pick-up location to rendezvous with a rider, and (ii) a set of configuration instructions to configure one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider;
analyze the sensor data to autonomously control the acceleration, steering, and braking systems along a route to the pick-up location; and
execute, prior to arriving at the pick-up location, the set of configuration instructions to configure the one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider.

Abstract
An autonomous vehicle (AV) can receive a pick-up location to rendezvous with a rider and a set of configuration instructions to configure one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider. The AV can analyze sensor data to autonomously control acceleration, steering, and braking systems along a route to the pick-up location. Prior to arriving at the pick-up location, the AV can execute the set of configuration instructions to configure the one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a control system of an autonomous vehicle (AV), cause the control system to:
-
receive, over one or more networks from a transport facilitation system, (i) a pick-up location to rendezvous with a rider, and (ii) a set of configuration instructions to configure one or more adjustable components of a configurable interior system of the AV for the rider; analyze sensor data generated by a sensor system of the AV data to autonomously control acceleration, steering, and braking systems of the AV along a route to the pick-up location; and execute, prior to arriving at the pick-up location, the set of configuration instructions to configure the one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method of configuring an interior system of an autonomous vehicle (AV), the method being performed by a control system of the AV and comprising:
-
receiving, over one or more networks from a transport facilitation system, (i) a pick-up location to rendezvous with a rider, and (ii) a set of configuration instructions to configure one or more adjustable components of a configurable interior system of the AV for the rider; analyzing sensor data generated by a sensor system of the AV to autonomously control acceleration, steering, and braking systems of the AV along a route to the pick-up location; and executing, prior to arriving at the pick-up location, the set of configuration instructions to configure the one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider. - View Dependent Claims (20)
