The invention provides a method and system for a vehicle to shift between an autonomous mode and a manual mode, and vice versa. This shifting is dependent on multiple criteria, including but not limited to extra weight/items/property inside the vehicle, passengers inside the vehicle, one or more sensors and/or counters, whether the vehicle is in park, and whether the vehicle is entirely empty. The invention also includes several components such as users, vehicles, a central processor, and maintenance/central stations. According to one embodiment, no passengers are permitted on board the vehicle when it is in autonomous mode, and the vehicle will be on the road for an extended and longer amount of time compared to rental vehicles because the vehicles can automatically drive to a new user/recipient or towards a maintenance station, thus utilizing the time during which the vehicle would otherwise be idle.
