Abstract: Generating a virtual fence for vehicles to perform a drop off and a pick up. A drop off location is determined for a first vehicle and a route is determined for the first vehicle to the drop off location. The virtual fence is generated at the drop off location which defines a safe area for performing the drop off and pick up. A boundary of the virtual fence is communicated to at least one other vehicle in proximity of the drop off location. In at least one embodiment, autonomous vehicles perform the drop off and pick up within the virtual fence at the drop off location.

Abstract: A construction of a dynamic object password (DOP) is initiated by selecting an object from a set of objects in a step of the construction.
