 determine an action to take with respect to the autonomous vehicle to respond to the signal from the user by controlling the feature of the autonomous vehicle. 
   
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the feature of the autonomous vehicle that can be controlled in response to the signal from the user comprises a temperature inside the autonomous vehicle. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the signal received from the user comprises a temperature inside the autonomous vehicle. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the feature of the autonomous vehicle that can be controlled in response to the signal from the user comprises a passenger capacity of the vehicle. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the signal received from the user comprises a number of passengers for the trip. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the feature of the autonomous vehicle that can be controlled in response to the signal from the user comprises a state of an entertainment system inside the vehicle. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the state of the entertainment system comprises at least one of a type of entertainment content. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the state of the entertainment system comprises an identifier of a broadcast station. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the signal received from the user comprises an identification of a source or type of content for the entertainment system. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the feature of the autonomous vehicle that can be controlled in response to the signal from the user comprises accommodation of a child who requires a child seat. 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the signal received from the user comprises an indication of a child to be present on the trip.
