1. A computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
accessing data indicative of a first vehicle service associated with an autonomous vehicle;
determining a position of a partition wall within an interior space of the autonomous vehicle based on the first vehicle service;
wherein the interior space is at least partially defined by a floor and a ceiling, the partition wall extending at least partially from the floor to the ceiling, and
wherein the partition wall at least partially defines one or more compartments within the interior space;
accessing data indicative of a request to perform a second vehicle service;
determining, based at least in part on the position of the partition wall and the request to perform the second vehicle service, that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform the second vehicle service; and
transmitting data indicative of an acceptance of the request to perform the second vehicle service using the autonomous vehicle.
