Abstract
Technologies for authorizing a passenger of an autonomous vehicle include determining a passenger authorization policy based on a request for a taxi service and determining whether a passenger is authorized for the taxi service based on the passenger authorization policy. The passenger authorization policy may include a set of rules for authorizing a passenger based on the request for the taxi service and/or a global authorization policy. For example, the passenger may be authorized based on the identity of the passenger, the number of passengers, the age of the passenger, an authentication token, and/or other methodologies. The passenger authorization policy may be generated by the autonomous vehicle in response to the request for a taxi service or received from a passenger authorization management server as part of the request for the taxi service.

26. An in-vehicle passenger authorization system of an autonomous vehicle, the in-vehicle passenger authorization system comprising:
-
a passenger authorization module to determine a passenger authorization policy based on a request for a taxi service; and a passenger detection module to detect the presence of a passenger in the autonomous vehicle based on an output of at least one passenger detection sensor of the autonomous vehicle; wherein the passenger authorization module is to determine, in response to detection of the presence of the passenger, whether the passenger is authorized for the taxi service based on the passenger authorization policy. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
