1. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions recorded thereon to reduce carbon emissions associated with a vehicle in a parking garage, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
obtain a unique identifier associated with the vehicle;
obtain a unique identifier associated with a driver of the vehicle,
wherein the unique identifier associated with the driver of the vehicle is based on a number associated with a mobile device operating on a wireless telecommunication network and a driver's license associated with the driver of the vehicle;
generate a one-time password associated with the unique identifier associated with the vehicle and the unique identifier associated with the driver of the vehicle;
send the one-time password to the mobile device associated with the driver of the vehicle;
authenticate the vehicle and the driver of the vehicle by receiving the one-time password from the number associated with the mobile device;
create in a database an association between the unique identifier associated with the vehicle, the unique identifier associated with the driver of the vehicle, and the mobile device associated with the driver of the vehicle;
facilitate parking of the vehicle in the parking garage;
detect that the mobile device is proximate to the parking garage;
upon detecting that the mobile device is proximate to the parking garage, identify, using the database, the vehicle associated with the mobile device based on the unique identifier associated with the vehicle being associated with the mobile device in the database;
upon identifying the vehicle associated with the mobile device, send signaling to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to be autonomously delivered to the driver of the vehicle;
upon the vehicle reentering the parking garage associated with the database, enable an identification of the vehicle using a different mobile device number associated with the driver by:
upon obtaining the unique identifier associated with the vehicle, determining whether the database contains the unique identifier associated with the vehicle;
upon determining that the database includes the unique identifier associated with the vehicle, retrieving from the database the mobile device associated with the unique identifier associated with the vehicle;
sending a request for a verification to the mobile device;
monitoring a passage of time since sending the request for the verification to the mobile device;
after a predetermined amount of time without receiving the verification from the mobile device, requesting that the driver of the vehicle enter a different number associated with the driver;
obtain an available spot in the parking garage; and
facilitate parking of the vehicle in the available spot.
