Using Pre-Computed Vehicle Locations and Paths to Direct Autonomous Vehicle Maneuvering

Abstract:

A method includes, by a central computing device, receiving instructions to provide access to an autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles in a parking area, identifying one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles to be moved to provide access to the autonomous vehicle, and causing each of the blocking autonomous vehicles to perform a pre-computed movement based on a determined state of the blocking autonomous vehicle, wherein the blocking autonomous vehicle performing the pre-computed movement allows the first autonomous vehicle to be accessible.
