Abstract: This disclosure relates to a distributed data center that includes resources carried by a fleet of vehicles. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicles and/or the surroundings of vehicles. The system includes a remote computing server configured to maintain map data and distribute it to the fleet, including local map data to individual vehicles pertaining to their surroundings. Individual vehicles may compare the local map data with the information related to their individual surroundings. Based on such comparisons, individual vehicles may detect discrepancies between the local map data and the information related to their individual surroundings. The remote computing server may modify and/or update the map data based on the detected discrepancies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using risk profiles for creating and deploying new vehicle event definitions to a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain a first risk profile, a second risk profile, and vehicle event characterization information; select individual ones of the previously detected vehicle events that have one or more characteristics in common; determine circumstances for at least a predefined period prior to occurrences of the selected vehicle events; create a new vehicle event definition based on the determined set of circumstances; distribute the new vehicle event definition to individual vehicles in the fleet of vehicles; and receive additional vehicle event information from the individual vehicles in the fleet of vehicles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using risk profiles for fleet management of a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. Fleet management may include determining the performance levels of particular vehicle operators. The risk profiles characterize values representing likelihoods of occurrences of vehicle events. The values are based on vehicle event information for previously detected vehicle events. Exemplary implementations may: receive, from a particular vehicle, particular vehicle event information for particular vehicle events that have been detected by the particular vehicle; determine one or more metrics that quantify a performance level of the particular vehicle operator, based on the risk profiles; compare the one or more metrics for the particular vehicle operator with aggregated metrics that quantify performance levels of a set of vehicle operators; and store, transfer, and/or present results of the comparison.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for transitioning vehicle control between autonomous operation and manual operation. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicle and its operation. During autonomous vehicle operation, the system gauges the level of responsiveness of a vehicle operator through challenges and corresponding responses. The system determines when to present a challenge to the vehicle operator based on internal and external factors. If necessary, the system will transition from an autonomous operation mode to a manual operation mode.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for detecting vehicle events and generating review criteria based on the detected vehicle events. Some or all of the system may be installed in a vehicle and/or be otherwise coupled with a vehicle. The system may include one or more sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicle and/or multiple video capture devices configured to acquire visual output information representing a vehicle environment. In some implementations, the system may determine a vehicle event type based on the information conveyed by the output signals. The system may generate review criteria, which correspond to the vehicle event, based on the vehicle event type and the fields of view corresponding to the video capture devices.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a distributed data center that includes resources carried by a fleet of vehicles. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicles. The system may detect vehicle events based on the information conveyed by the output signals. The system includes a remote computing server configured to present a user interface to a user. Through the user interface, the user may query information from one or more vehicles in the fleet. The distributed query is transmitted to individual vehicles, and results are locally processed in accordance with response constraints and subsequently transmitted back to the remote computing server for presentation to the user.
