Systems and Methods for Implementing Trip Checks for Vehicles

Abstract:

Systems and methods are directed to using machine learning in determining vehicle status and/or rider status associated with a service trip. In one example, a computer-implemented method for providing a vehicle trip check includes obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors positioned within a cabin of a vehicle, the sensor data being descriptive of objects located within the cabin of the vehicle. The method further includes inputting the sensor data to a machine-learned trip check model, and includes receiving, as an output of the machine-learned trip check model, trip check analysis data. The method further includes determining, based on the trip check analysis data, that the trip check analysis data meets one or more predetermined criteria. The method further includes in response to determining that the trip check analysis data meets the one or more predetermined criteria, generating a trip control signal associated with operation of the vehicle.
