Abstract: One variation of a method for identifying a user entering an autonomous vehicle includes: receiving a ride request from the user, the ride request specifying a pickup location; at the autonomous vehicle, autonomously navigating to the pickup location, scanning a field near the autonomous vehicle for a human approaching the autonomous vehicle, and, in response to detecting the human proximal the autonomous vehicle, recording an image of the human; detecting a face of the human in the image; accessing a faceprint characterizing facial features of the user; and, in response to the face of the human detected in the image exhibiting features represented in the faceprint, identifying the human as the user and triggering a door of the autonomous vehicle to unlock for the user.

Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring an interior state of an autonomous vehicle includes: at the autonomous vehicle, recording a pre-ride image of an interior of the autonomous vehicle prior to initiating a ride; following completion of the ride, recording a post-ride image of the interior of the autonomous vehicle; detecting a region of the post-ride image differing from the pre-ride image, the region of the post-ride image representing a change in the interior of the autonomous vehicle following occupancy of the autonomous vehicle by a user; classifying a type of an object depicted in the region of the post-ride image based on features extracted from the region of the post-ride image; and in response to classifying the object depicted in the region of the post-ride image as a personal item, serving a prompt to the user to retrieve the object from the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: One variation of a method for customizing motion characteristics of an autonomous vehicle for a user includes: accessing a baseline emotional state of the user following entry of the user into the autonomous vehicle at a first time proximal a start of a trip; during a first segment of the trip, autonomously navigating toward a destination location according to a first motion planning parameter, accessing a second emotional state of the user at a second time, detecting degradation of sentiment of the user based on differences between the baseline and second emotional states; and correlating degradation of sentiment of the user with a navigational characteristic of the autonomous vehicle; modifying the first motion planning parameter of the autonomous vehicle to deviate from the navigational characteristic; and, during a second segment of the trip, autonomously navigating toward the destination location according to the revised motion planning parameter.
