Techniques are disclosed for transporting objects using autonomous vehicles. In an embodiment, a customer makes a reservation with a transportation service provider (e.g., via an online booking application). The customer provides a pick-up date/pick-up time window, a destination and a description of the object(s) (e.g., luggage/cargo) that the customer will be transporting with or without themselves in the autonomous vehicle. After the computer system identifies the physical characteristics of the object(s), it identifies an autonomous vehicle with the appropriate amount of storage/container space with respect to the identified physical characteristics, and then assigns the vehicle to the customer. On or around the pick-up day, the computer system configures the assigned autonomous vehicle with reservation details including a description of the objects. At the pick-up location, sensors are used to authenticate/identify/localize/track each passenger and their respective objects, and to determine if any object is unsafe or illegal to transport.
