Abstract:

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may determine that a first vehicle is unsafe to continue navigating to the drop-off location while the first vehicle is traveling en-route to transport one or more passengers to a drop-off location. Based on this determination, an intermediate area for the one or more passengers to be dropped off by the first vehicle and picked up by a second vehicle is determined. Instructions are then provided to the first vehicle to cause the first vehicle to navigate to the intermediate area. Further, instructions are provided to the second vehicle to navigate at least in proximity to the intermediate area to pick up the one or more passengers, and navigate to the drop-off location after picking up the one or more passengers.
