Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as a semi-autonomous vehicle, for safely operating a vehicle based on vehicle-control gestures made by an occupant. Exemplary implementations may include determining a first vehicle action by applying a first passenger profile to a detected first vehicle-control gesture performed by a first passenger, determining whether the first vehicle action is safe to perform, and operating the vehicle to implement the first vehicle action in response to determining that the first vehicle action is safe for the vehicle and occupants. The first passenger profile may be selected from a plurality of passenger profiles to normalize vehicle-control gestures received from the first passenger. The vehicle control gesture may be ignored or a vehicle action differing from but similar to the first vehicle action may be implemented in response to determining that the first vehicle action is unsafe for the vehicle or occupants.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether a vehicle is driving in an unsafe or unsatisfactory manner are disclosed. In some implementations, a system may determine one or more driving scores for a vehicle based on observations of a driving behavior of the vehicle during a time period. The system may generate an indication of unsatisfactory driving based on at least one of the one or more driving scores exceeding a threshold value. The system may provide the indication of unsatisfactory driving to one or more entities. In some aspects, the system may identify one or more dangerous driving attributes exhibited by the vehicle during the time period based on the observations received from the one or more devices. The system may also generate the indication of unsatisfactory driving based at least in part on the identified dangerous driving attributes.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles that may include determining whether to initiate a configuration change protocol to implement a configuration change for modifying the arrangement of the vehicle internal structure in response to a planned or predicted future operating mode, event or environment. Also, determining whether an occupancy status of the vehicle conflicts with an occupancy status allowed for in a configuration called for by a configuration change input or indication. Further, modifying an arrangement of the vehicle internal structure in accordance with the configuration change input or indication in response to determining that the occupancy status of the vehicle does not conflict with the occupancy status allowed for in the configuration called for by the configuration change.

Abstract: Various methods for monitoring a target user by a drone include tracking the target user by the drone, detecting an object in the presence of the target user based on one or more detection criteria, determining whether the object is a potential threat to the target user based on one or more threat criteria, determining whether to notify the third party of the potential threat to the target user based on one or more notification criteria in response to determining that the object is a potential threat, notifying the third party of the potential threat to the target user in response to determining that the third party should be notified, receiving a response from the third party including a command, and performing an action based on the command.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods, devices, and robotic vehicles that adjust a proximity threshold implemented in a collision avoidance system based on whether a payload is being carried. Methods may include determining whether a payload is carried by the robotic vehicle, setting a proximity threshold for collision avoidance in response to determining that a payload is carried by the robotic vehicle, and controlling one or more motors of the robotic vehicle using the proximity threshold for collision avoidance. Some embodiments may include raising the proximity threshold when a payload is not being carried or decreasing proximity threshold when a payload is being carried. Some embodiments may include determining a classification of a payload and setting the proximity threshold based at least in part on the classification.

Abstract: Various methods enable a robotic vehicle to determine that it has been stolen, determine an appropriate opportunity to perform a recovery operation, and perform the recovery operation at the appropriate opportunity. Examples of recovery operations include traveling to a predetermined location, identifying and traveling to a “safe” location to await recovery, and crashing to self-destruct when the predetermined location cannot be reached and a “safe” location cannot be identified.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for providing conditional access for a drone for accessing a restricted area. Conditional access information associated with conditional access restrictions for the restricted area may be received by the drone. The drone may compare the received conditional access information to one or more access parameters for the drone. The drone may access the restricted area based on the comparison of the received conditional access information and the access parameter. A drone may take corrective action when the received conditional access information does not permit access to the restricted area based on the access parameter for the drone.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable delivering an item using an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) in response to receiving an electronic order for an item. Order parameters may be determined based on the electronic order identifying the item and details regarding delivery of the item. UAV components may be selected for operating the UAV based on UAV parameters meeting the order parameters. UAV-compliant packaging parameters may be determined for transporting the item carried by the UAV. Selected UAV-compliant packaging may enable the UAV to meet at least some of the order parameters and the UAV parameters. Assembly of the UAV may be coordinated to include the selected UAV components and selected UAV-compliant packaging with the item therein. The selected UAV-compliant packaging may meet the determined UAV-compliant packaging parameters. The assembled UAV and packaging may be dispatched for delivering the item.
