This invention describes an autonomous vehicle system designed to manage passenger transport. It works by receiving a request to pick up a passenger at one location and take them to another. The system then uses its sensors to scan a passenger's device for a visual identifier, like a barcode, to confirm their identity before proceeding with the trip.
Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in autonomous vehicle deployment and computer vision for passenger identification. The ability to reliably scan and verify visual identifiers from passenger devices is now more robust and integrated into AV systems.
