    摘要: A lead autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a sensor configured to observe a field of view in front of the lead AV. Following AVs are on the same road behind the lead AV. A processor of the lead AV is configured to detect a construction zone. The processor sends a first message to an operation server, indicating that the construction zone is detected. The processor updates driving instructions of the lead AV to navigate around the construction zone. While navigating around the construction zone, the processor sends sensor data associated with the construction zone to the operation server. The operation server determines an extent of the construction zone. If the operation server determines that the construction zone is extensive, it sends re-routing instructions to the AVs. If the operation server determines that the construction zone is not extensive, it sends instructions to navigate around the construction zone to the AVs.

    摘要: Systems and methods for granting access to autonomous vehicles are disclosed. In one aspect, an autonomous vehicle includes an access sensor located on an exterior of the autonomous vehicle and configured to receive user credentials from an authorized user, a door configured to provide access to the autonomous vehicle, and a network communications subsystem configured to communicate with a remote oversight system. The autonomous vehicle further includes a processor configured to receive the user credentials from the access sensor, transmit the user credentials to the oversight system via the network communications subsystem, receive a confirmation from the oversight system that the user credentials are associated with a user authorized to access the autonomous vehicle, and unlock the door in response to receiving the confirmation to provide the user access to the autonomous vehicle.
