A computer program product is provided for controlling an autonomous vehicle, where the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith and executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method. The method includes determining whether a primary user is present in an autonomous vehicle, allowing use of a plurality of functions of the autonomous vehicle in response to determining that the primary user is present in the autonomous vehicle, and receiving and storing preferences input by the primary user, wherein the preferences limit a function of the autonomous vehicle if the primary user is not present. The method further includes limiting use of the one or more of the plurality of functions of the autonomous vehicle as specified by the preferences in response to determining that the primary user is not present in the autonomous vehicle.
