1. A system, comprising:
- an autonomous vehicle configured to travel from an origin to a destination, in response to a user instruction; and
an application including one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are to be executed by one or more processors of a mobile device of a user, the one or more programs including instructions for;
receiving user input of the user;
in response to receipt of the user input, causing transmission of the user instruction;
at the origin, authenticating the user as well as another person other than the user;
detecting arrival at the destination;
after detecting arrival at the destination and without the autonomous vehicle being powered down;
determining whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle,identifying at least one device, that is of the another person other than the user and that is not the mobile device, based on contact information of the at least one device of the another person other than the user being present in the mobile device, anddetermining whether the at least one device was present in the autonomous vehicle during the travel from the origin to the destination, based at least on the authentication of the another person other than the user, in addition to determining whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle; and
in response to determining that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle and determining that the at least one device was present in the autonomous vehicle during the travel from the origin to the destination after detecting the arrival at the destination, causing transmission of a signal to the at least one device utilizing the contact information, for providing a notification that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle after detecting the arrival at the destination.

6. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions which, when executed by a mobile device of a user, cause the mobile device to:
-
receive user input of the user; in response to receipt of the user input, cause transmission of a user instruction for use by an autonomous vehicle configured to travel from an origin to a destination in response to the user instruction; at the origin, authenticate the user as well as another person other than the user, detect arrival at the destination; after detecting arrival at the destination and without the autonomous vehicle being powered down; determine whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle, identify at least one device, that is of the another person other than the user and that is not the mobile device, based on contact information of the at least one device of the another person other than the user being present in the mobile device, and determine whether the at least one device was present in the autonomous vehicle during the travel from the origin to the destination, based at least on the authentication of the another person other than the user, in addition to determining whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle; and in response to determining that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle and determining that the at least one device was present in the autonomous vehicle during the travel from the origin to the destination after detecting the arrival at the destination, cause transmission of a signal to the at least one device utilizing the contact information, for providing a notification that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle after detecting the arrival at the destination. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
at a mobile device of a user; receiving user input of the user; in response to receipt of the user input, causing transmission of a user instruction for use by an autonomous vehicle configured to travel from an origin to a destination in response to the user instruction; at the origin, authenticating the user as well as another person other than the user; detecting arrival at the destination; in response to detecting arrival at the destination and without the autonomous vehicle being powered down; determining whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle, identifying at least one device, that is of the another person other than the user and that is not the mobile device, based on contact information of the at least one device of the another person other than the user being present in the mobile device, and determining whether the at least one device was present in the autonomous vehicle during the travel from the origin to the destination, based at least on the authentication of the another person other than the user, in addition to determining whether the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle; and in response to determining that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle after detecting the arrival at the destination, causing transmission of a signal to the at least one device utilizing the contact information, for providing a notification that the mobile device is still in the autonomous vehicle after detecting the arrival at the destination.
