An autonomous vehicle can receive guide assistance from a human driven vehicle in response to a determination that the autonomous vehicle cannot progress safely on its route. An event can be detected that impairs a confidence level of the autonomous vehicle in progressing through a current route. In response to detecting the event, the autonomous vehicle communicates information about the event to a remote source of guidance, and can implement instruction to handle the event while it operates. Further, a transport arrangement system can operate to receive a transport request from a user, and make a selection of a vehicle type for the user based at least in part on a set of criteria associated with the transport request or user information.
