    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating and deploying fleets of autonomous in operational domains are described. A computing system may obtain data indicative of one or more capabilities of at least one autonomous vehicle, data indicative of vehicle service dynamics in an operational domain over a period of time, and determining a plurality of resource performance parameters respectively for a plurality of autonomous vehicle fleets associated with potential deployment in the operational domain. Each autonomous vehicle fleet can be associated with a different number of autonomous vehicles The resource performance parameter for each autonomous vehicle fleet can be based at least in part on the one or more capabilities of the at least one autonomous vehicle and the vehicle service dynamics in the operational domain. The computing system can initiate an action associated with the operational domain based at least in part on the plurality of resource performance parameters.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle to reduce idle data usage and vehicle downtime are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data associated with autonomous vehicle(s) that are online with a service entity. The computing system can obtain data indicative of the geographic area with an imbalance in a number of vehicles associated with the geographic area. The computing system can determine a first autonomous vehicle for re-positioning with respect to the geographic area based at least in part on the data associated with the one or more autonomous vehicles and the data indicative of the geographic. The computing system can communicating data indicative of a first re-positioning assignment associated with the first autonomous vehicle. In some implementations, the computing system can generate vehicle service incentive to entice a vehicle provider to re-position its autonomous vehicles with respect to the geographic area.

    Abstract: A system can receive a request for transport from a computing device of a user and select a service provider to provide transport for the user to a destination location. The system can receive location data from the computing device of the service provider. After the service provider picks up the user, the system can determine whether the service provider progresses toward the destination location in accordance with a set of progress conditions. Based at least in part on determining that the service provider has not progressed toward the destination location in accordance with the set of progress conditions, the system can adjust a fare for providing transport for the user to the destination location.

    Abstract: A network computer system receives request data from computing devices of requesting users in a sub-region of a service area. The system further receives location data from computing devices of drivers operating in the sub-region. Based on the request data and the location data, the system determines a service condition for the sub-region. Based on the service condition indicating that the sub-region is in a driver oversupply state, the system transmits a service instruction to computing devices of a plurality of drivers within the sub-region, the service instruction being associated with a target outside the sub-region and a set of progress conditions. The system then periodically determines, for each driver of the plurality of drivers, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the target from a current position of the driver to determine whether the driver is satisfying the set of progress conditions of the service instruction.
