A system and method for optimizing routes for an autonomous vehicle ride service based on business promotions and incentives. A vehicle routing service identifies multiple possible routes between a rider's pick-up and drop-off locations that meet time and distance requirements. For each route, an expected monetary value is calculated based on promotions from businesses located near the route. Businesses provide promotions with bid values via an integrated promotion management platform. The route with the highest expected value based on associated promotion bid values is selected and provided to the autonomous vehicle. Promotion content is transmitted to vehicle displays or the rider's mobile device. The rider can accept offers to re-route to a business. The system continually evaluates new promotions for additional revenue opportunities. By optimizing routes based on promotions and incentives, the system maximizes value for riders, businesses, and the ride service.
