Abstract: Techniques for providing remote guidance to a vehicle operating in an environment, by an operator located in the environment, are described herein. The operator can include a safety observer configured to observe one or more vehicles operating in the environment and may identify a scenario that requires a modification to a vehicle operation (e.g., stop forward movement, change direction of travel, modify a maximum speed, etc.). The operator may access a graphical user interface (GUI) via an operator computing device, and may input a constraint to modify the vehicle operation. The vehicle computing system may receive a control signal including the constraint, and may modify a vehicle trajectory based on the constraint. The vehicle computing system may later determine that a condition associated with the constraint is satisfied, and may continue vehicular operation in absence of the constraint.

Abstract: Techniques for engaging and disengaging a vehicle from an autonomous operation mode are described. The techniques include receiving a request to engage or disengage the autonomous mode at a teleoperations system. The request is validated at the teleoperations system using a first set of conditions describing trust in the request and validity of the request. The request is then sent, if valid, to the vehicle where a second validation is performed using a second set of conditions describing the conditions or states of the vehicle. If the second conditions are valid then the request is performed and the vehicle engages or disengages from autonomous mode.

Abstract: Techniques for providing remote assistance to a vehicle are discussed. The techniques include receiving, from a vehicle, an indication of an event and displaying, on a display and to a user, a portion of an environment including the vehicle. The techniques further determine a valid region in the portion of the environment associated with a location at which the vehicle is capable of navigating. The techniques also display, on the display a footprint of the vehicle, where the footprint is associated with a position and orientation. The techniques further include transmitting the position and orientation of the footprint to the vehicle, which causes the vehicle to traverse in the environment to the position and orientation.

Abstract: A method for autonomously operating a driverless vehicle along a path between a first geographic location and a destination may include receiving communication signals from the driverless vehicle. The communication signals may include sensor data from the driverless vehicle and data indicating occurrence of an event associated with the path. The communication signals may also include data indicating that a confidence level associated with the path is less than a threshold confidence level due to the event. The method may also include determining, via a teleoperations system, a level of guidance to provide the driverless vehicle based on data associated with the communication signals, and transmitting teleoperations signals to the driverless vehicle. The teleoperations signals may include guidance to operate the driverless vehicle according to the determined level of guidance, so that a vehicle controller maneuvers the driverless vehicle to avoid, travel around, or pass through the event.

Abstract: Techniques and methods for navigating an autonomous vehicle using teleoperator instructions. For instance, while navigating to a location, progress of an autonomous vehicle may stop. This may be caused by the autonomous vehicle yielding to another vehicle, such as at an intersection or when the other vehicle is located along a route of the autonomous vehicle. After yielding for a threshold amount of time, the autonomous vehicle may send sensor data and/or an indication of the other vehicle to the teleoperator. The autonomous vehicle may then receive, from the teleoperator, an instruction to cease yielding to the other vehicle. Based at least in part on the instruction, the autonomous vehicle may again begin navigating.

Abstract: Techniques and methods for contacting a teleoperator. For instance, while navigating to a location, progress of an autonomous vehicle may stop. This may be caused by the autonomous vehicle yielding to another vehicle, such as at an intersection or when the other vehicle is located along a route of the autonomous vehicle. While yielding to the other vehicle, the autonomous vehicle may determine that the progress has stopped for a threshold amount of time. Additionally, in some circumstances, the autonomous vehicle may determine that the progress not been stopped due to traffic or a traffic light. Based at least in part on the determinations, the autonomous vehicle may send sensor data to the teleoperator, where the sensor data represents an environment for which the autonomous vehicle is located. Additionally, the autonomous vehicle may send an indication of the other vehicle to the teleoperator.

Abstract: Techniques to provide guidance to a vehicle operating in an environment are discussed herein. For example, such techniques may include sending a request for assistance, receiving a reference trajectory, and causing the vehicle to determine a trajectory based on the reference trajectory. Data such as sensor data and vehicle state data may be sent from the vehicle to a remote computing device. The computing device outputs a user interface using the data and determines the reference trajectory based on receiving an input in the user interface. The techniques can send an indication of the reference trajectory to the vehicle for use in planning a trajectory for the vehicle. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on the trajectory.

Abstract: Aspects of validating information sent to and/or received by a computing device, such as a vehicle computing device, are discussed herein. A vehicle may receive information associated with a computing device, the information indicating that the computing device is authorized to provide guidance information to an autonomous vehicle. Further, the vehicle can receive a message comprising the guidance information associated with the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle can determine that the message is associated with the computing device and can evaluate the message based at least in part on configuration data associated with maneuvering the autonomous vehicle or state information associated with the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle can be controlled based at least in part on evaluating the message.

Abstract: A method for operating a driverless vehicle may include receiving, at the driverless vehicle, sensor signals related to operation of the driverless vehicle, and road network data from a road network data store. The method may also include determining a driving corridor within which the driverless vehicle travels according to a trajectory, and causing the driverless vehicle to traverse a road network autonomously according to a path from a first geographic location to a second geographic location. The method may also include determining that an event associated with the path has occurred, and sending communication signals to a teleoperations system including a request for guidance and one or more of sensor data and the road network data. The method may include receiving, at the driverless vehicle, teleoperations signals from the teleoperations system, such that the vehicle controller determines a revised trajectory based at least in part on the teleoperations signals.
