Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicle activation are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data associated with an autonomous vehicle that is offline with a service entity. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a geographic area associated with the service entity. The computing system can determine that the autonomous vehicle is to go online with the service entity within the geographic area based at least in part on the data associated with the autonomous vehicle and the data indicative of the geographic area. The computing system can communicate data indicative of an activation assignment associated with the autonomous vehicle. The activation assignment can be indicative of at least a portion of the geographic area within which the autonomous vehicle is to go online with the service entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle to reduce wasteful data usage are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can determine that a first autonomous vehicle is in an idle state in which the first autonomous vehicle is online with a service entity and is not performing a vehicle service. The computing system can obtain vehicle parameter(s) associated with the first autonomous vehicle that is in the idle state and environmental parameter(s). The computing system can determine a task for the first autonomous vehicle to perform while the first autonomous vehicle is in the idle state based at least in part on at least one of the vehicle parameter(s) or the environmental parameter(s). The computing system can communicate data indicative of the task for the first autonomous vehicle to perform while the first autonomous vehicle is in the idle state.

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system may include a data pipeline that proposes routing graph modifications from automatically ingested data sources and that provides enough context to suggest an expiration time to remove the routing graph modifications once imposed. The system and method receives from at least one data source routing graph modification data including geographic location data identifying a location to which a routing graph modification applies. The routing graph modification data is associated with one or more roadway elements in a routing graph of a navigation constraints system, and the routing graph modification data associated with the one or more roadway elements is classified as a routing graph modification. The routing graph modification is added to or, if expired, removed from the navigation constraints system.
