  • Patent number: 11953333
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230153937
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may determine one or more characteristics of an autonomous vehicle, determine one or more characteristics of one or more road segments of a geographic area, determine at least one geographic zone for the autonomous vehicle within the geographic area based at least on the characteristics of the autonomous vehicle and the characteristics of the one or more road segments of the at least one geographic area, and match a request with the autonomous vehicle within the at least one geographic zone based at least in part on a request location and a destination location of the request being associated with the at least one geographic zone. Other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11532060
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may determine one or more characteristics of an autonomous vehicle, determine one or more characteristics of one or more road segments of a geographic area, determine at least one geographic zone for the autonomous vehicle within the geographic area based at least on the characteristics of the autonomous vehicle and the characteristics of the one or more road segments of the at least one geographic area, and match a request with the autonomous vehicle within the at least one geographic zone based at least in part on a request location and a destination location of the request being associated with the at least one geographic zone. Other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11209279
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive disengagement information associated with one or more autonomous vehicles, the disengagement information identifying a plurality of disengagements of an autonomy system during operation of the one or more autonomous vehicles. Each disengagement of the plurality of disengagements can be categorized based on a plurality of categories, wherein a first category of the plurality of categories is associated with disengagement that would not have led to a negative outcome. A performance metric associated with the one or more autonomous vehicles can be determined based on the categorizing each disengagement of the plurality of disengagements. Autonomous vehicle performance of the one or more autonomous vehicles can be evaluated based on the performance metric.

  • Publication number: 20200284598
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a first utility metric associated with a region and first autonomous vehicle eligibility criteria, wherein the first utility metric is determined based on a first plurality of rides and a subset of the first plurality of rides that can be successfully executed within the region based on the first autonomous vehicle eligibility criteria. A second utility metric associated with the region and second autonomous vehicle eligibility criteria can be determined, wherein the second utility metric is determined based on a second plurality of rides and a subset of the second plurality of rides that can be successfully executed within the region based on the second autonomous vehicle eligibility criteria. An autonomous vehicle associated with the first autonomous vehicle eligibility criteria can be selected to drive in the region based on a comparison of the first utility metric and the second utility metric.
