  • Publication number: 20200166936
    Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for dispatching trips to a plurality of autonomous vehicles. For example, a dispatch system may access trip result data describing a plurality of trips executed by a set of autonomous vehicles of a first vehicle type. The dispatch system may determine a first routing constraint for autonomous vehicles of the first vehicle type using the trip result data and select an autonomous vehicle to execute a first new trip using the first routing constraint. The dispatch system may send a request to execute the first new trip to the selected autonomous vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200166361
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to routing autonomous vehicles. A processor unit accesses first routing graph modification data and second routing graph modification data. The first routing graph modification data based at least in part on first vehicle capability data describing a first type of autonomous vehicle and the second routing graph modification data based at least in part on second vehicle capability data describing a second type of autonomous vehicle. The processor unit accesses routing graph data describing a plurality of graph elements and generates a first route for a first autonomous vehicle of the first type based at least in part on the first routing graph modification data and the routing graph data. The processor unit also generates a second route for a second autonomous vehicle of the second type based at least in part on the second routing graph modification data and the routing graph data.

  • Publication number: 20200033847
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to facilitating secure, bidirectional communications between autonomous vehicles associated with a plurality of entities and a provider infrastructure. In one example, a computer-implemented method for facilitating communications with a vehicle includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a communication associated with an autonomous vehicle via an application programming interface platform, wherein the application programming interface platform comprises a plurality of vehicle services interfaces. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, an entity-type of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, a vehicle services interface of the plurality of vehicle services interfaces based at least in part on the communication associated with the autonomous vehicle and the entity-type.

  • Publication number: 20190325546
    Abstract: A network computing system can coordinate an on-demand transport service utilized by internal autonomous vehicles (AVs), third-party AVs, and human-driven vehicles. The system can receive transport requests from requesting users, where each transport request can indicate a pick-up location and a destination. The system can determine a plurality of candidate transport providers to service the respective transport request, in which the plurality of candidate transport providers can comprise at least one third-party AV. The system can determine a capability of the at least one third-party AV in servicing the respective transport request, and, based at least in part on the capability of the at least one third-party AV, select a transport provider from the plurality of transport providers to service the transport request.
