    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing inter-vehicle communication are disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a fleet management system, operating data from one or more self-driving vehicles via a communication network, and operating the fleet management system to determine a characteristic of a set of vehicles of one or more self-driving vehicles satisfies at least one communication condition. In response to determining the set of vehicles satisfies the at least one communication condition, the fleet management system can operate to select a stored data portion from a manager storage unit based at least on the characteristic of the set of vehicles; and transmit the data portion to the set of vehicles via the communication network. A method of providing inter-vehicle communication between one or more self-driving vehicles is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying groups of self-driving material-transport vehicles are presented. The system comprises a fleet of self-driving material-transport vehicles having two or more vehicle teams and a fleet-management system. The fleet-management system has a processor and non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive a request for an event to be executed, select a vehicle team from within the fleet based on the request, select a vehicle from within the vehicle team, and transmit event directions to the selected vehicle based on the request for the event. The selected vehicle then executes the event directions.
