    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle to reduce idle data usage and vehicle downtime are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data associated with autonomous vehicle(s) that are online with a service entity. The computing system can obtain data indicative of the geographic area with an imbalance in a number of vehicles associated with the geographic area. The computing system can determine a first autonomous vehicle for re-positioning with respect to the geographic area based at least in part on the data associated with the one or more autonomous vehicles and the data indicative of the geographic. The computing system can communicating data indicative of a first re-positioning assignment associated with the first autonomous vehicle. In some implementations, the computing system can generate vehicle service incentive to entice a vehicle provider to re-position its autonomous vehicles with respect to the geographic area.

    Abstract: A system can classify at least one sub-region of the one or more sub-regions as an undersupplied sub-region based on transport supply versus transport demand. The system can provide, to a computing device of a service provider over one or more networks, one or more proposals on a user interface of the computing device, each proposal being associated with an undersupplied sub-region in which transport requests having start locations within the undersupplied sub-region are to be fulfilled by the service provider over for a given amount of time. The system may then initiate a proposal for the corresponding undersupplied sub-region for the service provider by matching the service provider with one or more transport requests having start locations within the undersupplied sub-region.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating and deploying fleets of autonomous in operational domains are described. A computing system may obtain data indicative of one or more capabilities of at least one autonomous vehicle, data indicative of vehicle service dynamics in an operational domain over a period of time, and determining a plurality of resource performance parameters respectively for a plurality of autonomous vehicle fleets associated with potential deployment in the operational domain. Each autonomous vehicle fleet can be associated with a different number of autonomous vehicles The resource performance parameter for each autonomous vehicle fleet can be based at least in part on the one or more capabilities of the at least one autonomous vehicle and the vehicle service dynamics in the operational domain. The computing system can initiate an action associated with the operational domain based at least in part on the plurality of resource performance parameters.

    Abstract: A network computer system receives request data from computing devices of requesting users in a sub-region of a service area. The system further receives location data from computing devices of drivers operating in the sub-region. Based on the request data and the location data, the system determines a service condition for the sub-region. Based on the service condition indicating that the sub-region is in a driver oversupply state, the system transmits a service instruction to computing devices of a plurality of drivers within the sub-region, the service instruction being associated with a target outside the sub-region and a set of progress conditions. The system then periodically determines, for each driver of the plurality of drivers, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the target from a current position of the driver to determine whether the driver is satisfying the set of progress conditions of the service instruction.

    Abstract: A network computer system provides a service instruction to a computing device. The service instruction can include offers, such as a service request to pick up and transport a user, and recommendations, such as a movement recommendation encouraging the service provider to relocate to another geographic area. The network computer system remotely monitors the computing device to receive a current position of the computing device as the service provider travels within a geographic area. The network computer system remotely monitors the computing device to receive a service state of the service provider. The network computer system periodically determines whether the service provider is making progress towards a target of the service instruction based on the current position of the computing device and a set of progress conditions, including determining whether the service provider satisfied the set of progress conditions in response to a change in the service state.

    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.
