Creating Aisle Access for Autonomous Vehicle Parking

Abstract:

A method includes, by a central computing device, receiving instructions to provide access to a first autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles in an array, wherein the first autonomous vehicle is blocked by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles in the array, and causing coordinated movements to be performed by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to create a gap in the array, wherein the gap provides a temporary access aisle to provide access to the first autonomous vehicle.
