Abstract
Techniques to provide guidance to a vehicle operating in an environment are discussed herein. For example, such techniques may include sending a request for assistance, receiving a reference trajectory, and causing the vehicle to determine a trajectory based on the reference trajectory. Data such as sensor data and vehicle state data may be sent from the vehicle to a remote computing device. The computing device outputs a user interface using the data and determines the reference trajectory based on receiving an input in the user interface. The techniques can send an indication of the reference trajectory to the vehicle for use in planning a trajectory for the vehicle. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on the trajectory.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a vehicle, a request for guidance;
- receiving an input indicative of a rate control limiting a rate of at least one of acceleration, steering, or braking;
- generating a reference trajectory based on the request for guidance and the rate control;
- determining a cost associated with the reference trajectory;
- and
- sending the reference trajectory and the cost associated with the reference trajectory to the vehicle for use in generating a candidate trajectory.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a vehicle, a request for guidance;
- receiving an input indicative of a rate control limiting a rate of at least one of acceleration, steering, or braking;
- generating a reference trajectory based on the request for guidance and the input;
- and
- sending the reference trajectory to the vehicle for use in generating a candidate trajectory.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a vehicle, a request for guidance;
- receiving an input indicative of a rate control limiting a rate of at least one of acceleration, steering, or braking;
- generating a reference trajectory based on the request for guidance and the input;
- and
- sending the reference trajectory to the vehicle for use in generating a candidate trajectory.
