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.
