Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle and the service selection for an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a plurality of plurality of service entities. The computing system can determine a first service entity of the plurality of service entities for which an autonomous vehicle is to perform a first vehicle service. The computing system can indicate that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform the first vehicle service for the first service entity. In some implementations, this indication can be done while the autonomous vehicle is already providing a vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a vehicle service assignment associated with the first service entity and cause the vehicle to travel accordingly. In some implementations, the computing system can select a vehicle service assignment from among a plurality of different vehicle service assignments.

Abstract: In one aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to an oil-based wellbore fluid. The oil-based wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous liquid and a surface-modified precipitated silica, wherein the surface-modified precipitated silica comprises a lipophilic coating. In another aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method of drilling or servicing a well. The method may include circulating a wellbore fluid, such as that described in the paragraph above, into a wellbore, and recovering at least a portion of the wellbore fluid from the wellbore.

Abstract: Various expandable mirrors and a vehicle having the same are described. An expandable mirror may include a first pane having a first reflective surface and a second pane having a second reflective surface. The expandable mirror may also include a mechanism connected with each of the first and second panes. The mechanism may be actuated to expand a viewing area of the mirror such that the expanded viewing area includes both the first and second reflective surfaces. The expandable mirror may also include a third pane having a third reflective surface that contributes to the viewing area when the mirror is expanded. The expandable mirror may also include a manual button configured to actuate or de-actuate the mechanism when pressed. The expandable mirror may also include a positioning motor configured to adjust the orientation of the viewing area of the mirror.
