Methods and systems for identifying autonomous vehicle users are described herein. An autonomous vehicle may receive a request to transport a first user to a first destination location. While travelling along a route to the first destination location, the autonomous vehicle may receive a request to pick up a second user at a second starting location and transport the second user to a second destination location. The autonomous vehicle may travel to the second starting location when the second user is within the threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle. Upon arriving at the second starting location, the autonomous vehicle may detect whether a person approaching the vehicle is the second user by detecting a biometric identifier for the person. As a result, the second user may be allowed to enter the autonomous vehicle and/or the autonomous vehicle may begin travelling to the second destination location.
