Patent number: 10824146Abstract: The present disclosure extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for handling rider service at autonomous vehicles. Aspects of the disclosure use a task planning artificial intelligence (AI) framework to improve rider services provided at autonomous vehicles (AV). The AI framework uses tasking priorities and historical data-based machine learning to provide improved services, such as, passenger pickup, passenger drop off, etc. at an autonomous vehicle. A vehicle service is modeled as a Virtual Chauffer Agent (VCA) that acts independently and reacts in an environment to pursue delegated goals. The VCA can interoperate with a Virtual Driving System (VDS) to control an autonomous vehicle and transport a rider between locations. The VCA can interact with other agents (e.g., weather, traffic, map, etc.) to address rider service issues.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Nestor Rychtyckyj, Hao Howard Yang
