1. A health risk assessment system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicably coupled to the processor and storing a health risk assessment module including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
acquire information regarding a travel history of a user of the vehicle;
determine, for each other person the user shared a previous ride with, a location at which the other person entered the vehicle in which the previous ride occurred and an address of the other person;
determine a first incidence of a communicable disease, at the location;
determine a second incidence of the communicable disease, at the address;
using the travel history information, the first incidence and the second incidence, determine a value of a first health status parameter;
determine whether the value of the first health parameter exceeds a first threshold; and
responsive to a determination that the value of the first health status parameter exceeds the first threshold, control operation of the vehicle to autonomously drive the vehicle to a facility for disinfection after a ride including the user has been completed.
