Abstract: Self-driving vehicles have unlimited potential to learn and predict human behavior and perform actions accordingly. Vehicle management systems can be configured to help govern self-driving vehicles. A vehicle management system can communicatively couple a self-driving vehicle to a remote computing device of a user of the vehicle. Losing communication with the remote computing device can cause the vehicle management system to take actions designed to safeguard the user.

Abstract: A vehicle management system can send a first pick-up location to a remote computing device of a prospective rider. A location tracking system is configured to monitor a location of the rider as the rider walks to rendezvous with the vehicle. The vehicle management system can later determine, based on the location of the rider as the rider walks to rendezvous with the vehicle, that the vehicle could rendezvous with the rider sooner by using a second pick-up location. The vehicle management system can prompt the vehicle navigation system to cease directing the vehicle toward the first pick-up location and instead direct the vehicle toward the second pick-up location. The vehicle management system can prompt the remote computing device to cease directing the rider toward the first pick-up location and instead direct the rider toward the second pick-up location.
