Abstract
A system is configured to, if an unmanned autonomous vehicle that runs on electric power, for example, a robotaxi, needs to be charged, make a request of a person around a charging station, for example, a driver of an electrified vehicle being charged, to do work for charging the robotaxi with a smartphone. At this time, the system may make a request to do work for charging the robotaxi in return for giving an incentive.
Claims9
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing a plurality of instructions that are executable, wherein
- the plurality of instructions is configured to cause the one or more processors to, if an unmanned autonomous vehicle that runs on electric power needs to be charged, make a request of a person around a charging station to do work for charging the unmanned autonomous vehicle with an HMI.
A method for managing, with a computer, an unmanned autonomous vehicle that runs on electric power, the method comprising
- if the unmanned autonomous vehicle needs to be charged, making a request of a person around a charging station to do work for charging the unmanned autonomous vehicle with an HMI.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer to execute functions, the functions comprising, if an unmanned autonomous vehicle that runs on electric power needs to be charged, making a request of a person around a charging station to do work for charging the unmanned autonomous vehicle with an HMI.
