Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for rapid payload interchangeability and, more particularly, for rapid payload interchangeability in autonomous vehicles. A vehicle may include a payload compartment, a payload interface, and at least one modular payload connection port. The at least one modular payload connection port may include a plurality of pins. Each of the plurality of pins may be connected to the payload interface. The system may include a user device. For the at least one modular payload connection port, the user device may be configured to receive a user selection of a first communication protocol from a plurality of communication protocols and wirelessly transmit the user selection of the first communication protocol to the payload interface. For the at least one modular payload connection port, the payload interface may be configured to enable only some of the plurality of pins based on the first communication protocol.
