receiving a second call message including a second pickup location from a second user device;

in response to the second call message, dispatching the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location; and

transmitting to the second user device an inquiry message asking whether or not to cancel the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location when receiving a reporting message related to a lost object from the first user device after dispatching the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location,

wherein the reporting message related to the lost object from the first user device is received after the first ride is completed.

moving the autonomous vehicle to a location corresponding to the reporting message when the reply message received from the second user device indicates canceling the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from the second user device a reply message corresponding to the inquiry message; and

moving the autonomous vehicle to a location related to the first user device when the reply message received from the second user device indicates canceling the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from the second user device a reply message corresponding to the inquiry message; and

moving the autonomous vehicle to a storage for storing the lost object when the reply message received from the second user device indicates canceling the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location.

receiving from the second user device a reply message corresponding to the inquiry message; and

when the reply message received from the second user device indicates not canceling the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location, moving the autonomous vehicle to a location corresponding to the reporting message after the autonomous vehicle completes a second ride corresponding to the second call message.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

searching the autonomous vehicle for the lost object based on the reporting message, before transmitting the inquiry message to the second user device.

9. A method for providing a shared vehicle service performed by a server communicating with a user device of a passenger and an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

in response to the second call message, dispatching the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location; and

transmitting to the second user device a message indicating that the dispatchment of the autonomous vehicle is cancelled when receiving a reporting message related to a lost object from the first user device after dispatching the autonomous vehicle to the second pickup location,

wherein the reporting message related to the lost object from the first user device is received after the first ride is completed.
