Abstract: A method for operating an electric vehicle (EV) includes receiving a request for access to resources, determining whether an energy storage device that provides power to the EV is electrically coupled to a charging station, determining a charge status of the energy storage device, and granting access to the resources based on the determination of whether the EV is coupled to the charging station, and the charge status of the energy storage device. The method can further determining whether a user making the request is one of a set of approved users of the EV, and determining whether one of the set of approved users is currently using the EV. Granting access to the resources may be based on when the user is not one of a set of approved users of the EV, and one of the set of approved users is not currently using the EV.

Abstract: A system that performs a method is disclosed. The system operates a vehicle in a first automation level corresponding to a first plurality of modes for operating the vehicle. The first plurality of modes comprises logic for performing automated driving operations, wherein the first automation level is associated with a first logic for transitioning between the first plurality of modes. While operating the vehicle in the first automation level, the system determines that automation level change criteria for transitioning from the first automation level to a second automation level are satisfied. In response to the determination, the system operates the vehicle in the second automation level corresponding to a second plurality of modes for operating the vehicle. The second plurality of modes comprises logic for performing automated driving operations, wherein the second automation level is associated with a second logic for transitioning between the second plurality of modes.

Abstract: A system that performs a method is disclosed. Whether a charging station is available to charge the vehicle is determined. In accordance with a determination that a charging station is available, one or more position parameters for a charging arm of the charging station are obtained using the one or more scanners. Based on the obtained one or more position parameters, one or more commands are generated to control the motion of the charging arm to couple the charging arm to the vehicle to charge the vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a path for autonomous navigation based on user input is described. The vehicle can include one or more sensors to collect data for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the vehicle's surroundings. A two-dimensional (2D) occupancy grid map can be generated from the 3D model and displayed at a computing device. In some examples, the occupancy grid map can be displayed at a user interface of the electronic device. The user interface can further accept user input in the form of one or more of a user-defined path, an endpoint, a vehicle pose, or a series of waypoints. Based on the user input, a finalized path for autonomous vehicle travel can be determined. Determining a finalized path can include determining an optimal, minimum-distance path, applying a smoothing algorithm, and/or applying a constraint to maintain a minimum distance from any static obstacles near the vehicle. While traveling along the finalized path, one or more sensors can monitor the vehicle's surroundings for obstacles. In response to a detected obstacle, the vehicle can stop and/or determine a new path for travel.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to determining a position or orientation of a vehicle are disclosed. A landmark is identified using sensor data presented by one or more sensors included with the vehicle. The landmark is identified using map data relating to an approximate location of the vehicle in a world coordinate system. A position or orientation of the vehicle relative to the landmark is determined. A position or orientation of the landmark relative to the world coordinate system is determined. Using the determined position or orientation of the vehicle relative to the landmark and the determined position or orientation of the landmark relative to the world coordinate system, a position or orientation of the vehicle relative to the world coordinate system is determined.
