Abstract: Disclosure herein are systems and methods for deploying an autonomous vehicle during an idle time. As disclosed herein, a request for a mobility service may be received. The request may include constraints for usage of the autonomous vehicle. An optimal mobility service strategy may be determined based on the constraints. The optimal mobility service strategy may be selected from a plurality of mobility service strategies. A notification may be transmitted to a user device. The notification may include details of the optimal mobility service strategy.

Abstract: A controller for an autonomous vehicle may include: one or more processors configured to: determine a maneuver planned for the vehicle based on a safety driving model and based on a first message from a network component external to the vehicle, the first message including a respective assessment for each proposed maneuver of at least two maneuvers proposed for the vehicle, and provide an in-vehicle instruction to perform the maneuver planned for the vehicle.

Abstract: Autonomous driving system methods and devices which trigger vehicular actions based on the monitoring of one or more occupants of a vehicle are presented. The methods, and corresponding devices, may include identifying a plurality of features in a plurality of subsets of image data detailing the one or more occupants; tracking changes over time of the plurality of features over the plurality of subsets of image data; determining a state, from a plurality of states, of the one or more occupants based on the tracked changes; and triggering the vehicular action based on the determined state.
