1. A computer-implemented method of stopping autonomous vehicle motion, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices on-board an autonomous vehicle, data indicative of one or more parameters associated with the autonomous vehicle, wherein the autonomous vehicle comprises a passenger that is riding in the autonomous vehicle for a requested transportation service;
determining, by the computing system, an existence of a condition that has occurred on-board the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the one or more parameters associated with the autonomous vehicle and a level of severity of the condition;
determining, by the computing system, actions to be performed by the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the existence of the condition that has occurred on-board the autonomous vehicle, wherein the actions comprise stopping a motion of the autonomous vehicle and informing the passenger that is riding in the autonomous vehicle of a type of the condition that has occurred on-board the autonomous vehicle;
providing, by the computing system, one or more control command signals to one or more systems on-board the autonomous vehicle to facilitate stopping the motion of the autonomous vehicle in response to the existence of the condition, wherein a rate of deceleration associated with stopping the motion of the autonomous vehicle is associated with the level of severity of the condition; and
providing, by the computing system for display via a user interface on a display device within the autonomous vehicle, data indicative of the type of the condition that has occurred on-board the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and vehicles for stopping the motion of a vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a method obtaining, by one or more computing devices on-board an autonomous vehicle, data indicative of one or more parameters associated with the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining an existence of a fault associated with the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the one or more parameters associated with the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining one or more actions to be performed by the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the existence of the fault. At least one of the actions includes stopping a motion of the autonomous vehicle. The method includes providing one or more control command signals to one or more of the systems on-board the autonomous vehicle to facilitate stopping the motion of the autonomous vehicle in response to the existence of the fault.
