Abstract
An on-demand transportation management system can collect vehicle fleet utilization data corresponding to human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) operating within a given region in connection with an on-demand transportation service. The on-demand transportation management system can then establish a set of selection priorities for respective areas of the given region based on the vehicle fleet utilization data, each selection priority indicating whether a respective area of the given region is to favor HDVs or AVs for servicing transport requests.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memory resources storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to:
- receive a new unverified software version that relates to operation of autonomous vehicles;
- generate a simulation for pre-certifying the new unverified software version, wherein the simulation is generated using a previous verified software version and real-world log data from at least one of the autonomous vehicles,
- wherein the real-world log data comprises at least one of:
- (i) recorded sensor data, (ii) telemetry data, or (iii) diagnostic data obtained while the at least one autonomous vehicle implemented the previous verified software version;
- execute one or more implementations of the simulation for the new unverified software version;
- and
- pre-certify the new unverified software version for execution on the autonomous vehicles by verifying outputs of the new unverified software version against a comparative simulation of a human driver.
A method comprising:
- receiving a new unverified software version that relates to operation of autonomous vehicles;
- generating a simulation for pre-certifying the new unverified software version, wherein the simulation is generated using a previous verified software version and real-world log data from at least one of the autonomous vehicles,
- wherein the real-world log data comprises at least one of:
- (i) recorded sensor data, (ii) telemetry data, or (iii) diagnostic data obtained while the at least one autonomous vehicle implemented the previous verified software version;
- executing one or more implementations of the simulation for the new unverified software version;
- and
- pre-certifying the new unverified software version for execution on the autonomous vehicles based on a result of the one or more implementations meeting a predetermined standard by verifying outputs of the new unverified software version against a comparative simulation of a human driver.
One or more non-transitory computer readable media that store instructions that are executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a new unverified software version that relates to operation of autonomous vehicles;
- generating a simulation for pre-certifying the new unverified software version, wherein the simulation is generated using a previous verified software version and real-world log data from at least one of the autonomous vehicles,
- wherein the real-world log data comprises at least one of:
- (i) recorded sensor data, (ii) telemetry data, or (iii) diagnostic data obtained while the at least one autonomous vehicle implemented the previous verified software version;
- executing one or more implementations of the simulation for the new unverified software version;
- and
- pre-certifying the new unverified software version for execution on the autonomous vehicles based on a result of the one or more implementations meeting a predetermined standard by verifying outputs of the new unverified software version against a comparative simulation of a human driver.
