Abstract: A lead autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a sensor configured to observe a field of view in front of the lead AV. Following AVs are on the same road behind the lead AV. A processor of the lead AV is configured to detect a road structural change on the particular road. The processor updates driving instructions of the lead AV to navigate through the structural change using driving instructions related to the structural change. The processor sends a first message to the operation server indicating that the structural change is detected. The operation server updates the first portion of the map data, reflecting the structural change. The operation server sends the updated map data to the one or more following AVs.

Abstract: A system includes an autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising a sensor, a control subsystem, and an operation server. The control subsystem receives sensor data comprising location coordinates of the AV from the sensor. The operation server detects an unexpected event from the sensor data, comprising at least one of an accident, an inspection, and a report request. The operation server receives a message from a user comprising a request to access particular information regarding the AV and location data. The operation server associates the AV with the user if the location coordinates of the AV match location data of the user. The operation server establishes a communication path between the user and a remote operator for further communications.

Abstract: A system comprises a lead autonomous vehicle (AV), a control device associated with the lead AV, and a following AV. The control device receives a command to navigate the lead AV to avoid an unexpected road condition. The control device receives sensor data from a sensor of the lead AV, comprising location coordinates of objects ahead of the lead AV. The control device accesses environmental data associated with a portion of a road between the lead AV and following AV. The environmental data comprises location coordinates of objects between the lead AV and following AV. The control device determines whether an object in the sensor data or environmental data impedes performing the command by the following AV. The control device updates the command, if the control device determines that an object impedes performing the command by the following AV, and communicates the updated command to the following AV.

Abstract: A system includes autonomous vehicle and an oversight server. The oversight server obtains road condition data associated with a road ahead of the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server obtains status data from the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server determines that a routing plan of the autonomous vehicle should be updated based on the road condition data and the status data in response to determining an unexpected anomaly in one or both of the road condition data and the status data. The unexpected anomaly includes one or more of a severe weather event, a traffic event, a road block, and a service that needed to be provided to the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server communicates the updated routing plan to the autonomous vehicle while the autonomous vehicle is autonomously driving along the road.

Abstract: A system includes an autonomous vehicle and an oversight server. The oversight server receives status data from the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server determines that a service is needed to be provided to the autonomous vehicle based on the status data. The oversight server determines an updated routing plan for the autonomous vehicle so that the service is provided to the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server communicates instructions that implement the updated routing plan to the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A lead autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a sensor configured to observe a field of view in front of the lead AV. Following AVs are on the same road behind the lead AV. A processor of the lead AV is configured to detect a construction zone. The processor sends a first message to an operation server, indicating that the construction zone is detected. The processor updates driving instructions of the lead AV to navigate around the construction zone. While navigating around the construction zone, the processor sends sensor data associated with the construction zone to the operation server. The operation server determines an extent of the construction zone. If the operation server determines that the construction zone is extensive, it sends re-routing instructions to the AVs. If the operation server determines that the construction zone is not extensive, it sends instructions to navigate around the construction zone to the AVs.

Abstract: A system comprises an autonomous vehicle (AV) and a control device operably coupled with the AV. The control device receives, from an operation server, a command to navigate the AV to avoid an expected road condition. The control device receives, from sensors of the AV, sensor data comprising location coordinates of a plurality of objects ahead of the AV. The control device determines whether at least one object from the plurality of objects impedes performing the command. In response to determining that at least one object impedes performing the command, the control device updates the command, such that the updated command comprises one or more navigation instructions to avoid the at least one object while performing the command. The control device navigates the AV according to the updated command.

Abstract: A system accesses a plurality of data streams, each providing information about an environment associated with at least a portion of a predetermined routing plan of an autonomous vehicle. The system determines that the plurality of data streams in the aggregate indicates a route-altering event. In response to determining that the plurality of data streams in the aggregate indicate the route-altering event, the system updates the predetermined routing plan of the autonomous vehicle and communicates the updated routing plan to the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for granting access to autonomous vehicles are disclosed. In one aspect, an autonomous vehicle includes an access sensor located on an exterior of the autonomous vehicle and configured to receive user credentials from an authorized user, a door configured to provide access to the autonomous vehicle, and a network communications subsystem configured to communicate with a remote oversight system. The autonomous vehicle further includes a processor configured to receive the user credentials from the access sensor, transmit the user credentials to the oversight system via the network communications subsystem, receive a confirmation from the oversight system that the user credentials are associated with a user authorized to access the autonomous vehicle, and unlock the door in response to receiving the confirmation to provide the user access to the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A system comprises a fleet of autonomous vehicles and a scheduling server. The scheduling server accepts input comprising at least one preferred performance criteria to complete a mission trip. The scheduling server determines a routing plan to complete the mission trip based on the input. The routing plan is determined to optimize the at least one preferred performance criteria. The scheduling server identifies at least one autonomous vehicle that can perform the mission trip according to the determined routing plan. The scheduling server assigns the at least one autonomous vehicle to perform the mission trip.
