sending, by the computing system of the AV, the review information associated with the first user ID and the pick-up location to a review validation platform;
verifying, by the review validation platform, that the business associated with the product or service consumed by the user is in a geographic vicinity of the pick-up location associated with the ride request based on the location information collected by the AV;
enriching, by the review validation platform, the review information using trip information associated with the first user when the product or service consumed by the user was in the geographic vicinity of the pick-up location associated with the ride request; and
