Memory sub-system autonomous vehicle localization

A system for transporting equipment or passengers using an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

• a memory device within an autonomous vehicle for transporting equipment or passengers;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device configured to:
• select a predetermined pathway of the autonomous vehicle along a pathway in an indoor facility;
• determine anticipated locations of a plurality of location indicators based on the selected predetermined pathway prior to the autonomous vehicle traversing the predetermined pathway, wherein the plurality of location indicators are intermittently located along the predetermined pathway;
• send a signal to at least one of the plurality of location indicators from the autonomous vehicle in motion along the predetermined pathway;
• receive signals from the at least one location indicator;
• and
• compare the anticipated locations of the at least one of the plurality of location indicators to real-time locations of the at least one of the plurality of location indicators based on the received signals.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable to:

• select a predetermined pathway of an autonomous vehicle;
• receive, from a roadway component, while the autonomous vehicle is traversing the predetermined pathway:
• an indication that two location indicators of a plurality of location indicators are approaching, wherein the two location indicators are a particular distance apart;
• and
• an anticipated location of each of the two location indicators;
• send a signal to each of the two location indicators;
• receive a signal from each of the two location indicators;
• and
• compare the anticipated location of each of the two location indicators to a real-time location of each of the two location indicators based on the received signals;
• wherein:
• the comparison is performed in the absence of global positioning system (GPS) data;
• and
• the comparison is based on the particular distance between the two location indicators and a distance from each of the two location indicators to the vehicle.
