Communication between autonomous vehicles and operations personnel

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing computer-executable instructions thereon, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a signal from a remote computing system, the signal based on a position of an autonomous vehicle and a first position of a mobile device, wherein the signal identifies that the mobile device is within a threshold distance from the autonomous vehicle;
• stopping the autonomous vehicle based on receipt of the signal from the remote computing system;
• receiving an updated signal from the remote computing system, the updated signal based on a second position of the mobile device, the second position effective to facilitate a determination that the mobile device is no longer within the threshold distance from the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• resuming operation of the autonomous vehicle based on receipt of the updated signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a signal from a remote computing system, the signal based on a position of an autonomous vehicle and a first position of a mobile device, wherein the signal identifies that the mobile device is within a threshold distance from the autonomous vehicle;
• stopping the autonomous vehicle based on receipt of the signal from the remote computing system;
• receiving an updated signal from the remote computing system, the updated signal based on a second position of the mobile device, the second position effective to facilitate a determination that the mobile device is no longer within the threshold distance from the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• resuming operation of the autonomous vehicle based on receipt of the updated signal.
