Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining vehicle diagnostics information associated with a first autonomous vehicle that is part of a fleet of vehicles controlled by a first entity to provide a vehicle service to a second entity. The method includes determining remote inspection information that includes an assessment of one or more categories pertaining to a third entity, based at least in part on the vehicle diagnostics information. The method includes providing the remote inspection information to the third entity to provide the vehicle service.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining a transportation route along which an autonomous vehicle is or will be travelling;
- based on determining that a first location of the autonomous vehicle along the transportation route is within a first region:
- determining a first entity associated with the first region;
- determining first information associated with the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on vehicle diagnostics information associated with the autonomous vehicle and the first entity, the first information comprising an assessment of the autonomous vehicle pertaining to the first entity;
- and
- providing the first information to the first entity;
- and
- based on determining that a second location of the autonomous vehicle is within a second region different than the first region:
- determining a second entity associated with the second region;
- determining second information associated with the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle diagnostics information and the second entity, the second information comprising an assessment of the autonomous vehicle pertaining to the second entity;
- and
- providing the second information to the second entity.
