Claim 12:
13. A system, comprising:
at least one processor, and
at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
select a vehicle operation profile for an autonomous vehicle, wherein the vehicle operation profile comprises at least one of a lateral clearance of the autonomous vehicle from an object or a pedestrian located in an environment containing the autonomous vehicle travelling along a trajectory, the lateral clearance representing a distance between a respective travel segment of the trajectory and the object or pedestrian, the selecting comprising:
determining whether at least one passenger located within the autonomous vehicle is a new passenger,
in response to determining that the at least one passenger is not a new passenger, determining a stored passenger profile of the at least one passenger and selecting the vehicle operation profile for the autonomous vehicle at least partially based on data received from the stored passenger profile of the at least one passenger, and
in response to determining that the at least one passenger is a new passenger, determining a stored passenger profile of a particular passenger not presently riding in the autonomous vehicle and demographically similar to the new passenger located within the autonomous vehicle, and selecting the vehicle operation profile for the autonomous vehicle at least partially based on data received from the stored passenger profile of the particular passenger not presently riding in the autonomous vehicle;

measure passenger comfort data of the at least one passenger, the passenger comfort data representing a level of passenger comfort experienced during a ride with respect to the selected vehicle operation profile;
update the selected vehicle operation profile based on the passenger comfort data;
navigate the autonomous vehicle using the updated vehicle operation profile; and
adjust the trajectory of the autonomous vehicle based on at least one of the passenger comfort data or data received from the stored passenger profile of the at least one passenger.
