Fleet Maintenance Management for Autonomous Vehicles

A system comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors, the one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• generating a prediction of requests for autonomous vehicles in a fleet of collectively managed autonomous vehicles based on a current condition and a future event, the prediction comprising a predicted request level and a predicted duration of the predicted request level;
• receiving respective status information from the autonomous vehicles in the fleet of autonomous vehicles;
• identifying an autonomous vehicle in the fleet of autonomous vehicles in need of service based on the status information received from the autonomous vehicle;
• determining a time at which the autonomous vehicle is to be serviced at an identified service center based on the generated prediction of requests;
• scheduling the autonomous vehicle for service at the identified service center at the determined time;
• and
• causing instructions to be communicated to the autonomous vehicle to drive to the identified service center to be serviced at the determined time.
