Claim 5:
6. A system for defining a behavior zone for an autonomous vehicle fleet, comprising:
an online portal including a user interface configured to:
display a behavior zone associated with a selected location, wherein the selected location is a private property,
present a map of the behavior zone,
receive a depiction on the map indicating a route within the behavior zone, and
generate a behavior zone request based on the map and the depiction, wherein the behavior zone request includes the selected location, the route, and a behavior type; and

a central computing system configured to:
receive the behavior zone request,
review the behavior zone request,
determine specific vehicle behaviors associated with the behavior zone request, wherein determining specific vehicle behaviors includes identifying the route within the behavior zone,
verify a user relationship with the selected location,
add the specific vehicle behaviors associated with the behavior zone to a mapping system for the autonomous vehicle fleet, wherein the specific vehicle behaviors associated with the behavior zone apply to autonomous vehicles in the autonomous vehicle fleet,
receive a ride request from a ridehail application including a destination, wherein the destination includes the behavior zone;
assign a first autonomous vehicle to fulfill the ride request, wherein the first autonomous vehicle includes an onboard computer;
transmit a behavior zone option to the ridehail application, wherein the behavior zone option includes the specific vehicle behaviors;
receive a selection from the ridehail application for the behavior zone option;

the first autonomous vehicle of the autonomous vehicle fleet, including an onboard computer to control the first autonomous vehicle to apply the specific vehicle behaviors and to follow the route in the behavior zone.
