Systems and methods are directed to facilitating secure, bidirectional communications between autonomous vehicles associated with a plurality of entities and a provider infrastructure. In one example, a computer-implemented method for facilitating communications with a vehicle includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a communication associated with an autonomous vehicle via an application programming interface platform, wherein the application programming interface platform comprises a plurality of vehicle services interfaces. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, an entity-type of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, a vehicle services interface of the plurality of vehicle services interfaces based at least in part on the communication associated with the autonomous vehicle and the entity-type. The method further includes providing, by the computing system, the communication associated with the autonomous vehicle to a system client via the vehicle services interface.
