Systems and Methods for Determining Path Confidence for Unmanned Vehicles
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request for a vehicle to navigate a target location;
determining a navigation path for the vehicle to traverse a first segment of the target location based on a plurality of prior navigation paths previously determined for traversal of segments similar to the first segment of the target location;
determining a confidence level associated with the navigation path;
based on the determined confidence level, selecting a navigation mode for the vehicle from a plurality of navigation modes corresponding to a plurality of levels of remote assistance; and
causing the vehicle to traverse the first segment of the target location using a level of remote assistance corresponding to the selected navigation mode for the vehicle.

Abstract
Examples implementations relate to determining path confidence for a vehicle. An example method includes receiving a request for a vehicle to navigate a target location. The method further includes determining a navigation path for the vehicle to traverse a first segment of the target location based on a plurality of prior navigation paths previously determined for traversal of segments similar to the first segment of the target location. The method also includes determining a confidence level associated with the navigation path. Based on the determined confidence level, the method additionally includes selecting a navigation mode for the vehicle from a plurality of navigation modes corresponding to a plurality of levels of remote assistance. The method further includes causing the vehicle to traverse the first segment of the target location using a level of remote assistance corresponding to the selected navigation mode for the vehicle.

18. A system comprising:
-
a vehicle; and a control system configured to; receive a request for the vehicle to navigate a target location; determine a navigation path for the vehicle to traverse a first segment of the target location based on a plurality of prior navigation paths previously determined for traversal of segments similar to the first segment of the target location; determine a confidence level associated with the navigation path; based on the determined confidence level, select a navigation mode for the vehicle from a plurality of navigation modes corresponding to a plurality of levels of remote assistance; and cause the vehicle to traverse the first segment of the target location using a level of remote assistance corresponding to the selected navigation mode for the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein program instructions executable by a computing system to cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving a request for a vehicle to navigate to a target location; determining a navigation path for the vehicle to traverse a first segment of the target location based on a plurality of prior navigation paths previously determined for traversal of segments similar to the first segment of the target location; determining a confidence level associated with the distribution of navigation paths; based on the determined confidence level, selecting a navigation mode for the vehicle from a plurality of navigation modes corresponding to a plurality of levels of remote assistance; and causing the vehicle to traverse the first segment of the target location using a level of remote assistance corresponding to the selected navigation mode for the vehicle.
