1. A transport service entity computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute operations comprising:
receiving a transport request from a computing device associated with a requesting user;
transmitting a capability query based on the transport request to a third-party computing system of a third-party entity;
receiving a response from the third-party computing system, the response indicating a capability of one or more third-party autonomous vehicles (AVs) to respond to the transport request received from the computing device;
selecting the third-party entity to service the transport request based at least in part on the response from the third-party computing system; and
causing a third-party autonomous vehicle (AV) of the third-party entity to begin servicing the transport request.
