Abstract: Techniques and methods for securing vehicle systems. For instance, an authorization system may store data representing frequencies at which destination locations are associated pick-up locations for a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The authorization system may then receive a request for an autonomous vehicle to pick up a passenger at a first location and drop off the passenger at a second location. Based on the first location and the second location, the authorization system may determine a frequency for the request. The authorization system may then determine whether a control system for the fleet of autonomous vehicles is compromised based on whether the frequency is less than or equal to a threshold frequency. If the authorization system determines that the control system is compromised, the authorization system may perform a remedial action, such as notifying a teleoperator.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for detecting road blockages and generating alternative routes. In some cases, a system detects, based at least in part on sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle, a portion of an environment that impedes a planned path of the autonomous vehicle. The system determines a semantic classification associated with the portion of the environment and transmits a re-routing request comprising the semantic classification to one or more remote computing devices. The system receives an instruction associated with navigating the autonomous vehicle around the portion of the environment from the remote computing devices, where the instruction includes an alternative route determined from a plurality of alternative routes. The system further controls the autonomous vehicle to navigate around the portion of the environment based at least in part on the instruction.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for controlling an autonomous vehicle. While the autonomous vehicle is travelling to a destination, the autonomous vehicle may encounter a situation preventing the autonomous vehicle from travelling to the destination. A control center may receive information from the autonomous device and use a graphical user interface to provide instructions with limited controls for the autonomous vehicle to navigate to an intermediate position. In such an intermediate position, the vehicle may make way for an emergency vehicle, obtain additional sensor data for continued autonomous planning, signal intent to other objects in the environment, and the like.

Abstract: Techniques for engaging and disengaging a vehicle from an autonomous operation mode are described. The techniques include receiving a request to engage or disengage the autonomous mode at a teleoperations system. The request is validated at the teleoperations system using a first set of conditions describing trust in the request and validity of the request. The request is then sent, if valid, to the vehicle where a second validation is performed using a second set of conditions describing the conditions or states of the vehicle. If the second conditions are valid then the request is performed and the vehicle engages or disengages from autonomous mode.

Abstract: A vehicle can connect to multiple networks and can determine network parameters (e.g., available bandwidth, latency, signal strength, etc.) associated with the multiple networks. Additionally, the vehicle can access network map data associated with the multiple networks. As the vehicle traverses an environment, the vehicle can collect sensor data of the environment and/or vehicle data (e.g., vehicle pose, diagnostic data, etc.). Based on the network parameters and the network map data, the vehicle can optimize the use of the networks determine portions of the sensor data and/or vehicle data to transmit via the one or more of the multiple networks.

Abstract: A method for autonomously operating a driverless vehicle along a path between a first geographic location and a destination may include receiving communication signals from the driverless vehicle. The communication signals may include sensor data from the driverless vehicle and data indicating occurrence of an event associated with the path. The communication signals may also include data indicating that a confidence level associated with the path is less than a threshold confidence level due to the event. The method may also include determining, via a teleoperations system, a level of guidance to provide the driverless vehicle based on data associated with the communication signals, and transmitting teleoperations signals to the driverless vehicle. The teleoperations signals may include guidance to operate the driverless vehicle according to the determined level of guidance, so that a vehicle controller maneuvers the driverless vehicle to avoid, travel around, or pass through the event.

Abstract: A teleoperator device may be configured to obtain a request for teleoperator assistance from a driverless vehicle and obtain teleoperator data in response to the request. The teleoperator device may also be configured to record at least some of the teleoperator input and/or guidance transmitted to the driverless vehicle based on the teleoperator input. Upon receiving a subsequent request, the teleoperator device may be configured to reproduce at least part of the former teleoperator input and/or to provide an option to activate guidance associated with the teleoperator input. The teleoperator device may also be configured to train a model and/or use a model to determine from vehicle data an option for presentation via a teleoperator interface and/or a presentation configuration of the teleoperator interface.
