Cloud Software Development Kit for Third-Party Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract:

Systems and methods for enabling communication between a service entity and third-party autonomous vehicles are provided. A method can include accessing, by a first computing system associated with a third-party entity, a software package stored within the first computing system. The software package can be associated with a service entity that coordinates a vehicle service for the one or more autonomous vehicles. The method can further include establishing, by the first computing system via the software package, a communication connection with a second computing system that is associated with the service entity. The second computing system can include one or more backend services to facilitate the vehicle service. The method can further include communicating, between the first computing system and the second computing system, data indicative of a communication associated with the one or more autonomous vehicles via the communication connection.
