A system for an automated vehicle includes an exterior-camera, a database, and a controller. The exterior-camera is used to detect an identification-feature of a person proximate to a host-vehicle. The database includes a customer-profile of the person. The controller-circuit is in communication with the exterior-camera and the database. The controller-circuit is configured to determine an identity of the person in accordance with the identification-feature, recall from the database the customer-profile of the person based on the identity, and operate the host-vehicle to either select or reject the person as a passenger in accordance with the customer-profile of the person.
