Abstract
A controller receives sensor data during a ride and provides it to a server system. A passenger further provides feedback concerning the ride in the form of some or all of an overall rating, flagging of ride anomalies, and flagging of road anomalies. The sensor data and feedback are input to a training algorithm, such as a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, which updates an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The updated model is then propagated to controllers of one or more autonomous vehicle which then perform autonomous navigation and collision avoidance using the updated AI model.
Claims20
A method comprising, by a computer system:
- receiving a first input from a first passenger of an autonomous vehicle, the first input including first feedback relating to a first portion of a first trip performed by the autonomous vehicle with the first passenger;
- receiving a second input from a second passenger of an autonomous vehicle, the second input including second feedback relating to a first portion of a second trip performed by the autonomous vehicle with the second passenger, wherein the first portion of the first trip and the first portion of the second trip include a same location;
- receiving sensor data from the autonomous vehicle relating to the first portion of the trip;
- and
- updating an artificial intelligence (AI) model used by the autonomous vehicle for navigation based on the first feedback, the second feedback, and the sensor data.
A system comprising one or more processing devices and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more processing devices, the one or more memory devices storing executable code effective to cause the one or more processing devices to:
- receive a first input from a first passenger of an autonomous vehicle, the first input including first feedback relating to a first portion of a first trip performed by the autonomous vehicle with the first passenger;
- receive a second input from a second passenger of an autonomous vehicle, the second input including second feedback relating to a first portion of a second trip performed by the autonomous vehicle with the second passenger, wherein the first portion of the first trip and the first portion of the second trip include a same location;
- receive sensor data from the autonomous vehicle relating to the first portion of the trip;
- and
- update an artificial intelligence (AI) model used by the autonomous vehicle for navigation based on the first feedback, the second feedback, and the sensor data.
