    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle and the service selection for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a first vehicle service assignment for an autonomous vehicle. The first vehicle service assignment can be associated with a first service entity and indicative of a first vehicle service. The computing system can determine that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform a second vehicle service concurrently with the first vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a second vehicle service assignment for the autonomous vehicle. The second vehicle service assignment can be associated with a second service entity that is different than the first service entity and is indicative of the second vehicle service. The computing system can cause the autonomous vehicle to concurrently perform the first vehicle service with the second vehicle service.

    摘要: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for dispatching autonomous vehicles. A service arrangement system may receive error data describing an error state at a first autonomous vehicle executing a first transportation service. The first transportation service may include moving a payload from a transportation service start point to a transportation service end point. The service arrangement system may determine, using the error data, a first property of the first autonomous vehicle associated with the error state and select a second autonomous vehicle that does not have the first property. The service arrangement system may send to the second autonomous vehicle a transportation service request requesting that the second autonomous vehicle travel to a rendezvous location to meet the first autonomous vehicle and transport the payload from the rendezvous location to the transportation service end point.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices to provide estimations of vehicular pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) availability. A request for vehicular PDZ availability at a location is received from a vehicular autonomy system of a vehicle. The request specifies an estimated time of arrival at the location. The PDZ availability at the location at the estimated time of arrival is estimated using a probabilistic model. A response to the request is generated based on the estimated PDZ availability. The response indicates the estimated PDZ availability. The response is transmitted to the vehicular autonomy system responsive to the request.

    摘要: A travel coordination system provides suggestions to providers for where they should go to reduce the wait time between trips. A geographic region is broken down into zones and a score is generated for each zone. A zone score can be generated by determining the estimated wait time for the zone and generating a model for the wait time. A zone score can also be generated using a model for the wait time using factors that likely contribute to the wait time. The zone score for each zone is displayed to the provider on a road map of the geographic region along with the boundaries of each of the zones and the provider's position within the region. The travel coordination system also suggests driving routes. The travel coordination system selects a target zone and generates candidate routes to the zone. A route is selected based on route scores.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle and the service selection for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a plurality of plurality of service entities. The computing system can determine a first service entity of the plurality of service entities for which an autonomous vehicle is to perform a first vehicle service. The computing system can indicate that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform the first vehicle service for the first service entity. In some implementations, this indication can be done while the autonomous vehicle is already providing a vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a vehicle service assignment associated with the first service entity and cause the vehicle to travel accordingly. In some implementations, the computing system can select a vehicle service assignment from among a plurality of different vehicle service assignments.

    摘要: Various examples are directed to a service assignment system for providing transportation services. The service assignment system may receive a transportation service request from a user. The transportation service request may describe a transportation service having a service start location and a service end location. The service assignment system may generate a plurality of routes for executing the transportation service. The service assignment system may send proposed route data describing at least a portion of the plurality of routes to a first autonomous vehicle (AV). The service assignment system may receive, from the first AV, route data describing a first route to execute the transportation service and send, to the first AV, instruction data instructing the first AV to begin executing the transportation service.
