Transport vehicle configuration for impaired riders
A system for an autonomous vehicle can receive profile data of a passenger of the autonomous vehicle, the profile data indicating a need of the passenger for audio assistance. Based on the profile data, the system can execute a set of configurations to assist the passenger over a trip duration between a pick-up location and a destination. Execution of the set of configurations can include dynamically monitoring the passenger to determine a state of the passenger, and based on the state of the passenger, output the audio assistance to at least aid the passenger in entering and exiting the autonomous vehicle.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the mobile computing device, user input indicating an impairment of the user.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the user input indicating the impairment of the user comprises a voice input.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the request indicates at least one of: that the user is in need of audio assistance for the transportation service or an impairment of the user.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous vehicle comprises one or more exterior audio output devices.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the application is associated with the transportation service, wherein the application allows for the user input associated with the request for the transportation service and an indication of an impairment.
10. A user device comprising
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a computing system, user device configuration data, the user device configuration data indicating that a user of the user device is in need of audio assistance for at least one transportation service;
receiving user input associated with a request for a transportation service for a user;
communicating the request for the transportation service to the computing system;
receiving data indicating that an autonomous vehicle is to service the request for the transportation service;
tracking a location of the autonomous vehicle while the autonomous vehicle is en route to a pick-up location; and
initiating audio assistance when the autonomous vehicle is within a predetermined distance or a predetermined time from the pick-up location, the audio assistance based at least in part on the user device configuration data.
11. The user device of claim 10 , wherein tracking a location of the autonomous vehicle while the autonomous vehicle is en route to a pick-up location comprises identifying a location of the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle travels to the pick-up location.
12. The user device of claim 10 , wherein the request indicates at least one of:
that the user is in need of audio assistance for the transportation service or an impairment of the user.
13. The user device of claim 10 , wherein the user device comprises an application that tracks the location of the autonomous vehicle.
14. The user device of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise generating, by the user device, a control interface to enable the user to adjust one or more components of the autonomous vehicle.
15. The user device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more components comprise at least one of a seat, a climate control system, a window, an audio system, a display system, or a network service feature.
16. The user device of claim 14 , wherein the control interface is a speech recognition interface.
17. The user device of claim 16 , wherein the one or more components of the autonomous vehicle are controllable based at least in part on a speech command.
18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a computing system, configuration data, the configuration data indicating that a user is in need of audio assistance for at least one transportation service;
receiving user input associated with a request for a transportation service for the user;
communicating the request for the transportation service;
receiving data indicating that an autonomous vehicle is to service the request for the transportation service;
tracking a location of the autonomous vehicle; and
initiating audio assistance via an application when the autonomous vehicle is within a predetermined distance or a predetermined time from a pick-up location associated with the transportation service, the audio assistance based at least in part on the configuration data.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , wherein initiating audio assistance comprises generating a control interface to enable the user to adjust one or more components of the autonomous vehicle.
