Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method for managing transport providers, the method comprising:
receiving, by a transport service entity computing system, a transport request from a computing device of a requesting user;
determining, by the transport service entity computing system, a subset of transport providers to service the transport request, the subset of the transport providers comprising a first autonomous vehicle (AV) associated with a third-party computing system;
transmitting, by the transport service entity computing system, a first capability query describing the transport request to the third-party computing system;
receiving, by the transport service entity computing system, a response from the third-party computing system, the response indicating a capability of the first AV to respond to the transport request;
selecting, by the transport service entity computing system, the first AV to service the transport request based at least in part on the response from the third-party computing system; and
causing, by the transport service entity computing system, the first AV to begin servicing the transport request.
