Controlling autonomous vehicles to provide automated emergency response functions

A method comprising:

• at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface:
• detecting, by the at least one processor, an occurrence of an incident at a first location;
• selecting, by the at least one processor, a first autonomous vehicle to respond to the incident at the first location based on autonomous vehicle state information;
• generating, by the at least one processor, environment state information based on environment data received from an environmental data computer system;
• generating, by the at least one processor, one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute one or more response functions;
• and
• sending, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, to a first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle, the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more response functions,
• wherein sending the one or more dispatch commands to the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle causes the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle to drive the first autonomous vehicle to the first location, and
• wherein generating the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more response functions comprises generating at least one dispatch command based on the environment state information.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface, cause the computing platform to:

• detect an occurrence of an incident at a first location;
• generate environment state information based on environment data received from an environmental data computer system;
• select a first autonomous vehicle to respond to the incident at the first location based on autonomous vehicle state information;
• generate one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute one or more response functions;
• and
• send, via the communication interface, to a first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle, the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more response functions,
• wherein sending the one or more dispatch commands to the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle causes the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle to drive the first autonomous vehicle to the first location, and
• wherein generating the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more response functions comprises generating at least one dispatch command based on the environment state information.
