  • Patent number: 11884293
    Abstract: Disclosed are autonomous vehicles that may autonomously navigate at least a portion of a route defined by a service request allocator. The autonomous vehicle may, at a certain portion of the route, request remote assistance. In response to the request, an operator may provide input to a console that indicates control positions for one or more vehicle controls such as steering position, brake position, and/or accelerator position. A command is sent to the autonomous vehicle indicating how the vehicle should proceed along the route. When the vehicle reaches a location where remote assistance is no longer required, the autonomous vehicle is released from manual control and may then continue executing the route under autonomous control.

  • Patent number: 11729270
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating communication with autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system (e.g., of a vehicle) can generate a first communication associated with an autonomous vehicle. The computing system can provide the first communication to an application programming interface gateway that is remote from the autonomous vehicle. Another computing system can obtain, via an application programming interface gateway, the first communication associated with the autonomous vehicle. The other computing system can determine a first frontend interface of the application programming interface gateway based at least in part on the first communication associated with the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can provide, via the first frontend interface, the first communication associated with the autonomous vehicle to a first system client associated with the first frontend interface.
