    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle and the service selection for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a plurality of plurality of service entities. The computing system can determine a first service entity of the plurality of service entities for which an autonomous vehicle is to perform a first vehicle service. The computing system can indicate that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform the first vehicle service for the first service entity. In some implementations, this indication can be done while the autonomous vehicle is already providing a vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a vehicle service assignment associated with the first service entity and cause the vehicle to travel accordingly. In some implementations, the computing system can select a vehicle service assignment from among a plurality of different vehicle service assignments.

    摘要: A travel coordination system provides suggestions to providers for where they should go to reduce the wait time between trips. A geographic region is broken down into zones and a score is generated for each zone. A zone score can be generated by determining the estimated wait time for the zone and generating a model for the wait time. A zone score can also be generated using a model for the wait time using factors that likely contribute to the wait time. The zone score for each zone is displayed to the provider on a road map of the geographic region along with the boundaries of each of the zones and the provider's position within the region. The travel coordination system also suggests driving routes. The travel coordination system selects a target zone and generates candidate routes to the zone. A route is selected based on route scores.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices to facilitate pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) handoffs between autonomous vehicles. Consistent with some embodiments, a pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) is located based on detecting a first autonomous vehicle stopped at a stopping location. A system determines, based on one or more criteria, whether to request the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location to create an opportunity for a second autonomous vehicle to claim the PDZ. An amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location is determined based on the one or more criteria. A request to remain stopped at the stopping location is transmitted to a vehicle autonomy system of the first autonomous vehicle based on satisfaction of the one or more criteria. The request specifies the amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain at the stopping location.

    摘要: Various examples are directed to routing autonomous vehicles. A processor unit accesses first routing graph modification data and second routing graph modification data. The first routing graph modification data based at least in part on first vehicle capability data describing a first type of autonomous vehicle and the second routing graph modification data based at least in part on second vehicle capability data describing a second type of autonomous vehicle. The processor unit accesses routing graph data describing a plurality of graph elements and generates a first route for a first autonomous vehicle of the first type based at least in part on the first routing graph modification data and the routing graph data. The processor unit also generates a second route for a second autonomous vehicle of the second type based at least in part on the second routing graph modification data and the routing graph data.

    摘要: A method for dispatching trips to a plurality of autonomous vehicles is disclosed. Operational design domain (ODD) parameters for an autonomous vehicle of a first vehicle type are derived based on vehicle movement data. The vehicle movement data describes a plurality of trips executed by a set of autonomous vehicles of the first vehicle type. A first ODD parameter of the ODD parameters is identified that meets a criterion. A first new trip is generated based on the identified ODD parameter. An autonomous vehicle is selected to execute the first new trip. A request to execute the first new trip is then sent to the selected autonomous vehicle.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle and the service selection for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a first vehicle service assignment for an autonomous vehicle. The first vehicle service assignment can be associated with a first service entity and indicative of a first vehicle service. The computing system can determine that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform a second vehicle service concurrently with the first vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a second vehicle service assignment for the autonomous vehicle. The second vehicle service assignment can be associated with a second service entity that is different than the first service entity and is indicative of the second vehicle service. The computing system can cause the autonomous vehicle to concurrently perform the first vehicle service with the second vehicle service.
