Patent number: 11820246Abstract: Vehicle control systems can include one or more location sensors, an energy storage device, one or more charge sensors and one or more vehicle computing devices. The location sensor(s) can determine a current location of a vehicle, while the charge sensor(s) can determine a current state of charge of an energy storage device that can be located onboard the vehicle to provide operating power for one or more vehicle systems. The vehicle computing device(s) can communicate the current location of the vehicle and current state of charge of the energy storage device to a remote computing device, receive from the remote computing device a charging control signal determined, at least in part, from the current location of the vehicle and the current state of charge of the energy storage device, and control charging of the energy storage device in accordance with the charging control signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: UATC, LLCInventors: Richard Brian Donnelly, Sean Jeffrey Kelly, Justin Wayne Ho, James Lee Epifano

Publication number: 20180137470Abstract: A vehicle work environment provides capabilities for working and participating in meetings while riding in a vehicle such as a driverless autonomous vehicle (AV). In some examples, mobile meeting features are added to a calendaring system so that a meeting organizer can schedule a teleconference or in-vehicle meeting while some or all participants in the meeting are commuting to/from work or another destination. When attempting to schedule a meeting, a transport facilitation system in communication with the calendaring system calculates optimal times when attendees can meet inside a vehicle or teleconference in multiple vehicles simultaneously. The transport facilitation system sends AVs to the pick-up addresses for the attendees. The AVs provide a vehicle work environment including secure audio and visual communications with a conferencing system between vehicles and any non-mobile participants.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2016Publication date: May 17, 2018Inventors: Richard Donnelly, David McAllister Bradley, James Lee Epifano, Justin Wayne Ho
