Centralized shared autonomous vehicle operational management

An apparatus comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• and
• a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium to perform centralized shared scenario-specific operational control management, wherein to perform centralized shared scenario-specific operational control management the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive shared scenario-specific operational control management input data, from an autonomous vehicle;
• validate the shared scenario-specific operational control management input data;
• identify a current distinct vehicle operational scenario based on the shared scenario-specific operational control management input data;
• generate shared scenario-specific operational control management output data based on the current distinct vehicle operational scenario, wherein to generate the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data the processor is configured to, in response to a determination that a current policy for the current distinct vehicle operational scenario is available, include the current policy in the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data;
• and
• transmit the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform centralized shared scenario-specific operational control management by a centralized shared scenario-specific operational control management server, wherein centralized shared scenario-specific operational control management includes:

• receiving shared scenario-specific operational control management input data, from an autonomous vehicle;
• validating the shared scenario-specific operational control management input data;
• identifying a current distinct vehicle operational scenario based on the shared scenario-specific operational control management input data;
• generating shared scenario-specific operational control management output data based on the current distinct vehicle operational scenario, wherein generating the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data includes, in response to a determination that a current policy for the current distinct vehicle operational scenario is available, including the current policy in the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data;
• and
• transmitting the shared scenario-specific operational control management output data.
