AUTONOMOUS TRANSPORTATION TECHNIQUES

An amusement park transportation system including an autonomous vehicle configured to accommodate one or more guests, and a controller configured to communicate with the autonomous vehicle. The controller is configured to access a reservation or a return time of a guest for an attraction in an amusement park, determine or access a location of the guest within a predetermined time window preceding the reservation or the return time, and provide instructions to the autonomous vehicle to go to the location. The controller is configured to provide an alert to a guest device related to the autonomous vehicle, receive an indication from the autonomous vehicle that the guest is on or in the autonomous vehicle, and provide instructions to the autonomous vehicle to travel to the attraction with the guest after receiving the indication.
