Offboard Vehicle Service Testing System

Abstract:

Systems and methods for autonomous vehicle service assignment simulation are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data indicative of an autonomous vehicle to be tested within a simulation associated with a service entity, and generating a simulation environment for the simulation and a simulated autonomous vehicle within the simulation environment based at least in part on the data indicative of the autonomous vehicle. The method includes accessing one or more backend systems of the service entity via an application programming interface platform having one or more functional calls defined to be accessed by a third-party autonomous vehicle or a managing entity of third-party autonomous vehicles. The method includes initiating the simulation of the simulated autonomous vehicle within the simulation environment, and providing the simulated autonomous vehicle access to one or more services of the one or more backend systems of the service entity during the simulation.
