Abstract: A method for autonomously maneuvering a vehicle in a rearward direction towards a point of interest is provided. The method includes receiving one or more images from a camera positioned on a back portion of the vehicle. The method includes overlaying a path on the one or more images. In addition, the method includes receiving a command by way of a user interface. The command includes instructions to adjust the path. The method includes adjusting the path based on the received command. The method also includes transmitting a drive command to a drive system supported by the vehicle. The drive command causes the vehicle to autonomously maneuver along the adjusted path in a rearward direction.

Abstract: A method for tracking a trailer coupler (212) positioned behind a tow vehicle (100) is provided. The method includes receiving one or more images (143) from a camera (142) positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle (100). The method also includes determining a trailer coupler position within the one or more images. The trailer coupler position associated with the trailer coupler (212). Additionally, the method includes receiving vehicle sensor data (141) from one or more vehicle sensors. The method includes determining vehicle motion data based on the received vehicle sensor data (141). The method also includes determining an updated coupler position based on the trailer coupler position and the vehicle motion data.

Abstract: A method of autonomously maneuvering a tow vehicle (100) towards a trailer (200) positioned behind the tow vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving one or more images from a camera (152) positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle. The method also includes receiving, at the data processing hardware (160), a first user selection of a trailer representation within the one or more images. The method includes sending first instructions to a drive system (190) causing the tow vehicle to autonomously maneuver towards the trailer associated with the first user selection of the trailer representation. The method also includes receiving a second user selection of a coupler representation within the one or more images. The coupler representation associated with a trailer coupler (212) of the trailer. The method also includes sending second instructions to the drive system causing the tow vehicle (100) to autonomously maneuver towards the trailer coupler (212) associated with the second user selection.

Abstract: A method for autonomously driving a vehicle (100) in a rearward direction towards a point of interest is provided. The method includes receiving one or more images from a camera (142) positioned on a back portion of the vehicle and receiving a driver planned path (162) from a user interface (130). The driver planned path (162) includes a plurality of waypoints (168). The method also includes transmitting one or more commands to a drive system (110) causing the vehicle to autonomously maneuver along the driver planned path (162). The method also includes determining a current vehicle position and an estimated subsequent vehicle position. The method also includes determining a path adjustment from the current vehicle position to the estimated subsequent vehicle position. The method also includes transmitting instructions to the drive system (110) causing the vehicle (100) to autonomously maneuver towards the estimated subsequent vehicle position based on the path adjustment.
