Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive transportation information associated with a transportation request, the transportation information comprising a pick up location and a drop off location. A first route associated with the transportation request and a non-autonomous vehicle can be determined. A second route associated with the transportation request and an autonomous vehicle can be determined based on an operating design domain (ODD) associated with one or more autonomous vehicles in a fleet of vehicles. At least one performance metric associated with the second route can be determined. The second route can be selected based at least in part on the at least one performance metric and a comparison of the first route and the second route. An autonomous vehicle from the fleet of vehicles can be assigned to the transportation request based on selection of the second route.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of parameter-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. A given parameter-based encoding of the environment identifies one or more agents that were detected by a vehicle within the environment and respective location information for the one or more agents within the environment. The plurality of parameter-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings.

The receiving feature can be configured to receive the latching mount when the latching mount is advanced into the receiving feature, and in response to the receiving feature receiving the latching mount, the movable latch can move such that the latching protrusion of the movable latch is retained by the retention feature of the movable hook.

Abstract: The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to disclosed embodiments, a transportation matching system receives a session indicator and device-based location. The system utilizes the received request and device-based location to identify and analyze historical transportation matching system information. The system then generates a confidence score based on this information that indicates a level of confidence that the device-based location is a pickup location associated with the request. If the generated confidence score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system provides display components to a requestor computing device that enable confirmation of the transportation request with a single user interaction.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include using location data from multiple devices improve the accuracy of location estimates for a rideable vehicle and/or provide calibration for location information. In some examples, at the end of a ride the system may record the location of the rider's device to augment the location data from the rideable vehicle. In another example, when a batch of rideable vehicles are delivered to a location, the system may use the location of the operator's device and/or the locations of other rideable vehicles in the batch to increase the accuracy of data for the location of any given rideable vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may detect the number of functioning location sensors to determine the confidence in the location of the vehicle. This confidence information can then be used in network decisions such as matching. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
