Abstract: There is disclosed a method of operating an autonomous vehicle (AV), including: detecting an alert condition within the AV via data from an electronic sensor suite of the AV; based at least in part on detecting the alert condition, automatically initiating a call with another party; and communicatively coupling a passenger of the AV to the conference call, whereby the passenger can communicate with the other party via the conference call.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for recovery of autonomous vehicles. In particular, systems and methods are provided for vehicle recovery prioritization in a fleet of vehicles when multiple vehicles request recovery. A vehicle recovery event is generated for vehicles in need of recovery based on the vehicle's sensor log. The recovery service type is determined based on the vehicle recovery event, and vehicles in need of recovery are prioritized based on the recovery service type and the vehicle recovery event. The recovery support can include a recovery support representative and/or a recovery support service technician. Recovery response can be based on the recovery prioritization. Vehicle sensors and computing power can be used to inform onboard processors and/or central computers of a risk profile for the vehicle, and dispatch can trigger a response plan according to a recovery response framework.
