1. A method comprising:
identifying a baseline state of a user of an autonomous vehicle;
autonomously navigating the autonomous vehicle along a travel path toward a destination location during a trip, the autonomous vehicle moving along the travel path based on at least one motion planning parameter;
identifying a current state of the user;
determining a change of sentiment of the user based on a comparison of the baseline state with the current state;
determining a correlation between the change of sentiment of the user with a movement characteristic of the autonomous vehicle during the trip;
dynamically customizing operation of the autonomous vehicle by modifying the at least one motion planning parameter based on the correlation between the change of sentiment of the user with the movement characteristic of the autonomous vehicle; and
updating a rider profile for the user based on the modifying of the at least one motion planning parameter.
