Abstract
Provided are methods for post drop-off passenger assistance, which can include obtaining location data indicative of an environment where an autonomous vehicle is operating, determining a completion parameter indicative of a completion of a ride of the autonomous vehicle, determining, an assistance parameter indicative of an assistance of the autonomous vehicle to a passenger of the autonomous vehicle to be provided after the completion of the ride, and controlling an operation of the autonomous vehicle for assisting the passenger. Some methods described also include obtaining sensor data and controlling operation of the autonomous vehicle based on the sensor data. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, using at least one processor, location data indicative of a location within an environment where an autonomous vehicle is operating;
- determining, using the at least one processor, based on the location data, a completion parameter indicative of a completion of a ride of the autonomous vehicle;
- determining, using the at least on processor, based on the location data and the completion parameter, an assistance parameter indicative of an assistance of the autonomous vehicle to a passenger of the autonomous vehicle to be provided after the completion of the ride;
- and
- controlling, using the at least one processor, based on the assistance parameter, an operation of the autonomous vehicle for assisting the passenger.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out operations comprising:
- obtaining, using at least one processor, location data indicative of an environment where an autonomous vehicle is operating;
- determining, using the at least one processor, based on the location data, a completion parameter indicative of a of a ride of the autonomous vehicle;
- determining, using the at least on processor, based on the location data and the completion parameter, an assistance parameter indicative of an assistance of the autonomous vehicle to a passenger of the autonomous vehicle to be provided after the completion of the ride;
- and
- controlling, using the at least one processor, based on the assistance parameter, an operation of the autonomous vehicle for assisting the passenger.
A system, comprising at least one processor;
- and at least one memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- obtain location data indicative of an environment where an autonomous vehicle is operating;
- determine, based on the location data, a completion parameter indicative of a of a ride of the autonomous vehicle;
- determine, based on the location data and the completion parameter, an assistance parameter indicative of an assistance of the autonomous vehicle to a passenger of the autonomous vehicle to be provided after the completion of the ride;
- and
- control, based on the assistance parameter, an operation of the autonomous vehicle for assisting the passenger.
