  • Publication number: 20240028050
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230316162
    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 first vehicle service assignment for an autonomous vehicle. The first vehicle service assignment can be associated with a first service entity and indicative of a first vehicle service. The computing system can determine that the autonomous vehicle is available to perform a second vehicle service concurrently with the first vehicle service. The computing system can obtain data indicative of a second vehicle service assignment for the autonomous vehicle. The second vehicle service assignment can be associated with a second service entity that is different than the first service entity and is indicative of the second vehicle service. The computing system can cause the autonomous vehicle to concurrently perform the first vehicle service with the second vehicle service.

  • Publication number: 20220262177
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for dispatching autonomous vehicles. A service arrangement system may receive error data describing an error state at a first autonomous vehicle executing a first transportation service. The first transportation service may include moving a payload from a transportation service start point to a transportation service end point. The service arrangement system may determine, using the error data, a first property of the first autonomous vehicle associated with the error state and select a second autonomous vehicle that does not have the first property. The service arrangement system may send to the second autonomous vehicle a transportation service request requesting that the second autonomous vehicle travel to a rendezvous location to meet the first autonomous vehicle and transport the payload from the rendezvous location to the transportation service end point.

  • Publication number: 20190325546
    Abstract: A network computing system can coordinate an on-demand transport service utilized by internal autonomous vehicles (AVs), third-party AVs, and human-driven vehicles. The system can receive transport requests from requesting users, where each transport request can indicate a pick-up location and a destination. The system can determine a plurality of candidate transport providers to service the respective transport request, in which the plurality of candidate transport providers can comprise at least one third-party AV. The system can determine a capability of the at least one third-party AV in servicing the respective transport request, and, based at least in part on the capability of the at least one third-party AV, select a transport provider from the plurality of transport providers to service the transport request.
