Abstract: Method, system, and computer-readable storage media for drone-guided traffic assistance are disclosed. Real-time drone data is received from one or more drones. Also, fleet management system data of a fleet comprising a plurality of vehicles is received. Based on the real-time drone data and the fleet management system data, a priority of the plurality of vehicles, which include at least two vehicles in transit, is determined. Based on the real-time drone data and the fleet management system data, it is determined whether a first vehicle of the plurality of vehicles should be approved to continue driving. If approved, driving instructions corresponding to the first vehicle are transmitted to the first vehicle. If not, a second vehicle of the plurality of vehicles that should have a priority over the first vehicle to continue driving is determined. Driving instructions corresponding to the second vehicle are then transmitted to the second vehicle.

Abstract: This application is directed to controlling a vehicle trajectory of an autonomous vehicle. A first vehicle traveling along a road acquires, from a first sensor of the first vehicle, first data of one or more first objects in a vicinity of the first vehicle. The first vehicle receives, from a computer system associated with a fixed installation, a first travel trajectory for the first vehicle. The first travel trajectory is generated by the computer system based on second data corresponding to one or more second objects sensed on the road by sensors of the fixed installation. The first vehicle determines, according to the first data and the first travel trajectory, whether it can track the first travel trajectory. The first vehicle, in accordance with a determination that it can track the first travel trajectory, at least partially autonomously drives the first vehicle in the first travel trajectory.
