A method for operating a ride-share-enabled vehicle includes determining a target location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle, determining a ride-sharing policy algorithm to determine a behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle including whether to accept a multiple shared ride or maintain a single shared ride and a route of the multiple shared ride, if any, based on the determined target location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle, determining a behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle based on a current location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle and the determined ride-sharing policy algorithm, and causing the ride-share-enabled vehicle to be operated according to the determined behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle.
