Abstract: Systems and methods for clustering autonomous light electric vehicles are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, data indicative of a respective location for each of a plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles; determining, by the computing system, at least a subset of the plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles to cluster within a geographic area based at least in part on the data indicative of the respective location for each of the plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles; determining, by the computing system, a point autonomous light electric vehicle and one or more follower autonomous light electric vehicles based at least in part on one or more properties of the subset of the autonomous light electric vehicles; and controlling, by the computing system, each of the follower autonomous light electric vehicles to within a threshold distance of the point autonomous light electric vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning light electric vehicles are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, sensor data from one or more sensors located onboard an autonomous light electric vehicle, determining, by the computing system, one or more navigational instructions to reposition the autonomous light electric vehicle based at least in part on the sensor data, and causing, by the computing system, the autonomous light electric vehicle to initiate travel based at least in part on the one or more navigational instructions. The one or more navigational instructions can be one or more navigational instructions associated with repositioning the autonomous light electric vehicle at a light electric vehicle designated parking location, a light electric vehicle charging station, a light electric vehicle collection point, a light electric vehicle rider location, or a light electric vehicle supply positioning location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes providing a control of the autonomous vehicle to a user associated with a vehicle service. The method includes identifying one or more release signals indicative of one or more actions of the user. The method includes releasing the control of the autonomous vehicle from the user, based at least in part on the release signals.
