Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying a vehicle subject to an emergency alert. The method includes receiving an emergency alert, wherein the emergency alert includes a geographic region associated with the emergency alert and one or more identifiable markers of a wanted vehicle, determining whether the autonomous vehicle is within the geographic region associated with the emergency alert, and detecting, using one or more detection mechanisms coupled to the autonomous vehicle, a detected vehicle within an environment of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes, when the autonomous vehicle is within the geographic region associated with the emergency alert, determining, for each identifiable marker, whether the detected vehicle matches the identifiable marker, and when the detected vehicle matches the one or more identifiable markers, generating, using a processor coupled to the autonomous vehicle, a signal indicating that the detected vehicle is the wanted vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying a vehicle subject to an emergency alert are provided. The system comprises one or more autonomous vehicles, each autonomous vehicle comprising a vehicle detection and identification system configured to analyze one or more vehicles within a surrounding environment, and a wireless emergency alert system. The wireless emergency alert system may be configured to receive or generate an emergency alert, wherein the emergency alert includes a geographic region associated with the emergency alert and one or more identifiable markers of a wanted vehicle, determine one or more autonomous vehicles to receive the emergency alert, and relay the emergency alert to the one or more autonomous vehicles.
