Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for controlling power of electronic devices of a vehicle. For example, a vehicle includes a power source, a power distribution unit configured to control power to at least one electronic device from the power source, a first processor configured for communicating power commands to the power distribution unit. The power distribution unit comprises a second processor configured to execute computer executable instructions stored in computer-readable medium for carrying out operations including adjusting a power distribution from the vehicle power source to the at least one electronic device based on a power command received from the first processor.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for transporting objects using autonomous vehicles. In an embodiment, a customer makes a reservation with a transportation service provider (e.g., via an online booking application). The customer provides a pick-up date/pick-up time window, a destination and a description of the object(s) (e.g., luggage/cargo) that the customer will be transporting with or without themselves in the autonomous vehicle. After the computer system identifies the physical characteristics of the object(s), it identifies an autonomous vehicle with the appropriate amount of storage/container space with respect to the identified physical characteristics, and then assigns the vehicle to the customer. On or around the pick-up day, the computer system configures the assigned autonomous vehicle with reservation details including a description of the objects.
