Abstract
An autonomous vehicle (AV) can receive a pick-up location to rendezvous with a rider and a set of configuration instructions to configure one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider. The AV can analyze sensor data to autonomously control acceleration, steering, and braking systems along a route to the pick-up location. Prior to arriving at the pick-up location, the AV can execute the set of configuration instructions to configure the one or more adjustable components of the configurable interior system for the rider.
