SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PASSENGER PICK-UP BY AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17994992 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PASSENGER PICK-UP BY AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed technology provides solutions for accurate pick-up location determination for autonomous vehicles in ride-hailing services.
- Determining map information associated with thoroughfares for routing autonomous vehicles based on location data from the client device.
- Receiving sensor data from the client device to determine the client device's position relative to the thoroughfare.
- Routing the autonomous vehicle based on the client device's position relative to the thoroughfare.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in autonomous ride-hailing services, logistics, and transportation industries.
Problems Solved
1. Accurate pick-up location determination for autonomous vehicles. 2. Efficient routing of autonomous vehicles based on client device's position.
Benefits
1. Improved user experience for ride-hailing services. 2. Enhanced safety and efficiency in autonomous vehicle operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing ride-hailing services with accurate pick-up location determination.
Possible Prior Art
There are existing technologies for determining pick-up locations in ride-hailing services, but the use of sensor data from the client device for accurate positioning is a unique aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
In such cases, the technology may rely on other location data sources or algorithms to estimate the client device's position.
What measures are in place to ensure the security and privacy of the client device's sensor data?
The technology may include encryption protocols, data anonymization techniques, and secure data transmission methods to protect the client device's sensor data.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosed technology provides solutions for providing an accurate pick-up location for an autonomous vehicle and a rider during a ride hailing pick-up. A method of the disclosed technology can include steps for determining map information associated with at least one thoroughfare for routing an autonomous vehicle, wherein the map information is based on location data associated with a client device requesting the autonomous vehicle; receiving sensor data from the client device corresponding to the at least one thoroughfare; determining, based on the sensor data and the map information, a first position of the client device relative to the at least one thoroughfare; and routing the autonomous vehicle based on the first position of the client device relative to the at least one thoroughfare. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
