Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 14:
15. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
a first logic to maneuver the autonomous vehicle;
a sensor to identify a first audio trigger and a second audio trigger from a cabin of the autonomous vehicle that includes a first passenger and a second passenger, wherein the first audio trigger indicates raised voices at a first volume level, and the second audio trigger indicates raised voices at a second volume level that is higher than the first volume level; and
one or more processors coupled with the sensor, wherein the one or more processors are to:
identify a first pre-identified action corresponding to the first audio trigger in a user profile of the first passenger, wherein:
the first pre-identified action is to contact a pre-identified contact, provide information regarding the vehicle's current location, route, and destination to the pre-identified contact, and provide audio and video recordings of a cabin of the vehicle to the pre-identified contact; and
the first audio trigger and the first pre-identified action are input to the user profile of the first passenger before the first passenger enters the autonomous vehicle;

in response to the first audio trigger being identified, perform the first pre-identified action covertly and without providing a notification to the second passenger;
identify a second pre-identified action corresponding to the second audio trigger in the user profile of the first passenger, wherein:
the second pre-identified action is to re-route the autonomous vehicle from a first destination to a second destination and change the vehicle's route to go to streets that is better lit and busier than the vehicle's original route; and
the second audio trigger and the second pre-identified action are input to the user profile of the first passenger before the first passenger enters the autonomous vehicle; and

in response to the second audio trigger being identified, facilitate the first logic to perform the second pre-identified action covertly and without providing a notification to the second passenger.
