Software application to request and control an autonomous vehicle service
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, sensor data indicative of an environment through which the vehicle is travelling;
receiving data representing a pose of the vehicle, the data representing the pose based at least in part on the sensor data from the one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
receiving map data indicative of the environment;
causing display of an interactive map on a user interface, the interactive map comprising a representation of the map data and a rendering of the data representing the pose of the vehicle;
receiving, via a user interaction with the interactive map on the user interface, a request indicating a destination; and
controlling the vehicle to travel to the destination.

Abstract
Various embodiments relate generally to autonomous vehicles and associated mechanical, electrical and electronic hardware, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an autonomous vehicle fleet as a service. In particular, a method may include receiving, from a user device, a ride request to transport a user to a destination from an origin location through an autonomous vehicle system service. Based on the origin location associated with the request, an autonomous vehicle system may be selected from a fleet of autonomous vehicles to execute the ride request. The fleet may be managed by the autonomous vehicle system service. The ride request may then be provided to the autonomous vehicle system, and information about the autonomous vehicle system may also be provided to the user device.

9. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and computer readable storage media communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, execution of the instructions causing the one or more processors to perform acts comprising; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle and configured to generate sensor data indicative of an environment of the vehicle; determining, based at least in part on the sensor data from the one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, data representing a pose of the vehicle; receiving map data from a database, the map data associated with the environment; based at least in part on the map data and the data representing the pose of the vehicle, generating information associated with an interactive map, the interactive map being indicative of at least a portion of the environment; causing display of the interactive map on a user interface, the interactive map including a rendering of the data representing the pose of the vehicle; receiving, via a user interaction with the interactive map on the user interface, information indicative of a selection of a location in the environment; and transmitting instructions to a vehicle to travel to the location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
