Abstract: A method for using an autonomous vehicle includes receiving one or more user preferences for use of the autonomous vehicle. A destination is received for a trip using the autonomous vehicle. An arrival time is received for when the trip needs to be completed. A determination is made as to whether the user preferences includes a preference for physical activity for the trip. One or more routes are provided for the trip to the destination that permits the trip to be completed by the arrival time and that implements at least one of the user preferences. At least one of the routes comprises a hybrid route including one segment in which a physical activity selected by the user is suggested for traversing a distance of the one segment and another segment using the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Customization of sharing of rides can involve the grouping of passengers in vehicles according to objective and subjective parameters and preferences. In some embodiments, vehicles or other components of the system are equipped to identify and compare information about users of the system using biometric scanning. In some embodiments, fares for rideshares can be tied to a projected quality or desirability of the rideshare for a user or users of the system.

Abstract: Purchasing, maintaining, and deriving revenue from mobile autonomous units is facilitated by providing a mobile autonomous unit marketplace in which equity shares in mobile autonomous units can be bought, sold and traded. Valuation of mobile autonomous units within the marketplace can be a function of a variety of factors such as the mobile autonomous unit's primary geographic region, and the number, diversity, and time management of revenue streams available to the mobile autonomous units.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to apparatus and methods for a user to exchange information with a financial institution computing system (a branch location thereof) via a user device before the user is service, including, but not limited to, determining that the user device is present at the branch location of the financial institution, and in response to determining that the user device is present at the branch location, performing one or more of displaying information related to service at the branch location or displaying information unrelated to service at the branch location.

Abstract: A method implemented on an electronic computing device for arranging activities for one or more individuals using an autonomous vehicle (AV) includes receiving a request from a first individual for the AV. An action is initiated to provide the AV to the first individual. One or more activities are provided for the first individual to perform during a trip using the AV. A detection is made as to when the first individual completes one of the one or more activities. A cost of the trip is adjusted based on a completion of the one of the one or more activities.

Abstract: A modular vehicle system includes a plurality of vehicle modules with at least one autonomous vehicle module. A request from a user located at a user location specifies a plurality of the vehicle modules. The user location is specified, and a module location is determined for each of the specified vehicle modules. Based on the request, the specified modules are retrieved from the module locations, and assembled into a configured vehicle. The configured vehicle is located at a dispatch location. The configured vehicle is then dispatched from the dispatch location to the user location.
