Abstract: A network computing system to coordinate a completion time of at least a portion of an order request with a target completion time, where the target completion time reflects an estimated time of arrival for a transportation provider with respect to a location of the supplier. The network computing system can coordinate the completion time by determining a timing of when at least a step in the preparation of at least the portion of the order request is performed by the supplier, based on an estimated arrival time of a transport provider. The network computing system can perform one or more control actions to influence the target completion time, based on the determined timing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor cleaning system that cleans one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle. Each sensor can have one or more corresponding sensor cleaning units that are configured to clean such sensor using a fluid (e.g., a gas or a liquid). Thus, the sensor cleaning system can include both a gas cleaning system and a liquid cleaning system. According to one aspect, the sensor cleaning system can provide individualized cleaning of the autonomous vehicle sensors. According to another aspect, a liquid cleaning system can be pressurized or otherwise powered by the gas cleaning system or other gas system.
