Abstract
An operation of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The operation includes receiving first input reflective of a route to be traveled and second input reflective of trip experience preferences and searching for driving experience data related to the route. The operation further includes aggregating the first and second inputs with the driving experience data and plotting a travel plan incorporating the aggregated first and second inputs and the driving experience data.
Claims20
A processor-implemented method for operating an autonomous vehicle, the processor-implemented method comprising:
- receiving first input reflective of a route to be traveled and second input reflective of trip experience preferences comprising selections directly entered by passengers or selections derived from passenger driving logs, and selections derived from passenger social network recommendations, indications for reductions and increases in speed, switching on and off of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, closing an opening windows, playing music and halting in one or more places;
- searching for driving experience data related to the route;
- aggregating the first and second inputs with the driving experience data;
- and
- plotting a travel plan incorporating the aggregated first and second inputs and the driving experience data.
A non-transitory computer program product for operating an autonomous vehicle, the non-transitory computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive first input reflective of a route to be traveled and second input reflective of trip experience preferences comprising selections directly entered by passengers or
- selections derived from passenger driving logs, and selections derived from passenger social network recommendations, indications for reductions and increases in speed, switching on and off of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, closing an opening windows, playing music and halting in one or more places;
- search for driving experience data related to the route;
- aggregate the first and second inputs with the driving experience data;
- and
- plot a travel plan incorporating the aggregated first and second inputs and the driving experience data.
A system for operating an autonomous vehicle, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing program instructions for operating the autonomous vehicle, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the system to:
- receive first input reflective of a route to be traveled and second input reflective of trip experience preferences comprising selections directly entered by passengers or selections derived from passenger driving logs, and selections derived from passenger social network recommendations, indications for reductions and increases in speed, switching on and off of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, closing an opening windows, playing music and halting in one or more places;
- search for driving experience data related to the route;
- aggregate the first and second inputs with the driving experience data;
- and
- plot a travel plan incorporating the aggregated first and second inputs and the driving experience data.
