Systems and methods are directed to providing controlled user access to an autonomous vehicle. In one example, a computer-implemented method for providing access to an autonomous vehicle includes requesting, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, an authentication of a user desiring access to an autonomous vehicle, wherein the authentication of the user is to be performed by a user computing device associated with the user using one or more biometric sensors. The method further includes receiving, by the computing system, user authentication result data indicating that the user authentication was successful; and in response to receiving the user authentication result data indicating that the user authentication was successful, providing, by the computing system, user access data to the autonomous vehicle, wherein the user access data comprises instructions for the autonomous vehicle to perform one or more actions to enable access to the autonomous vehicle.
