TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates generally to autonomous vehicles (AVs) and, more specifically, to devices and methods for interacting with users of such vehicles using audio or non-visual cues.

BACKGROUND

Conventional delivery systems interact with users by providing notifications to users' mobile devices. For example, food delivery services typically alert users that their order is on its way, or has arrived, via in-app notifications or text messages. Similarly, ridesharing systems allow users to track their drivers in an app, and alerts users that a driver has arrived in the app or via a text message. Such visual, device-based notifications are not suitable or convenient for all users.
