Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for routing an autonomous vehicle. A comparison engine may access first route data describing a first route and second route data describing a second route. The comparison engine may generate first normalized route data using the first route data, where the first normalized route data comprises a first plurality of normalized positions along the first route. The comparison engine may also generate second normalized route data using the second route data, where the second normalized route data comprises a second plurality of normalized positions along the second route. The route comparison engine may compare a first position from a first plurality of normalized positions with a first corresponding position from the second plurality of normalized positions and may instruct an autonomous vehicle to begin executing an autonomous vehicle route based at least in part on the comparing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving remote operator assistance for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In particular, a computing system can obtain a plurality of sensor sweeps. The computing system can receive a request for remote assistance from an autonomous vehicle. The computing system can receive real-time video data from the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can receive real-time telemetry data from the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can present the real-time video data in a remote assistance interface. The computing system can generate a graphical overlay based on the telemetry data and display it in a remote assistance user interface over the real-time video data. The computing system can display one or more remote assistance options in the remote assistance user interface. The computing system can transmit instructions to perform one or more of the remote assistance options based on input from a remote assistance operator.
