Location-aware notifications and applications for autonomous vehicles

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed related to autonomous vehicle applications for selecting destinations. A control system of an autonomous vehicle can determine a status of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can determine a possible destination of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can generate and provide a hint related to the possible destination based on the status of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can receive input related to the hint. Based on the input, the control system can determine whether to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination. After determining to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination, the control system can direct the autonomous vehicle to travel to the possible destination.

1. A control system for an autonomous vehicle, the control system comprising:
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to perform operations comprising:
controlling, by the control system, driving of the autonomous vehicle without human interaction in an autonomous mode;determining a status of the autonomous vehicle including a location of the autonomous vehicle;determining occupancy of one or more current passengers of the autonomous vehicle;determining a possible destination for the autonomous vehicle based on passenger information associated with the one or more current passengers of the autonomous vehicle;generating a hint related to the possible destination based on the status of the autonomous vehicle including the location of the autonomous vehicle;causing the hint to be provided through a user interface;receiving input related to the hint;based on the input, determining whether to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination; andafter determining to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination, directing the autonomous vehicle to travel to the possible destination.
