    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) tracking and updating system tracks locations of AVs traveling throughout a given region. Using a stored network resource map, the system identifies a number of network-limited areas in the given region, and determines when respective AVs will enter one of the network-limited areas. In response, the system transmits a set of configuration commands to a number of proximate AVs to establish a mesh network with the respective AVs.

    Abstract: A backend system can store a network resource map that indicates network coverages areas for a plurality of base stations over a given region. The system can receive a pick-up request from a requesting user seeking transportation from a pick-up location to a destination, and instruct an automated vehicle (AV) to service the pick-up request. The system can further determine a plurality of possible routes from the pick-up location to the destination, and perform an optimization operation to determine an optimal route by utilizing the network resource map. The system can then transmit route data for the optimal route to the selected AV.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer implemented method includes obtaining data indicative of a location associated with a user to which an autonomous vehicle is to travel. The autonomous vehicle is to travel along a first vehicle route that leads to the location. The method includes obtaining traffic data associated with a geographic area that includes the location. The method includes determining an estimated traffic impact of the autonomous vehicle on the geographic area based at least in part on the traffic data. The method includes determining vehicle action(s) based at least in part on the estimated traffic impact and causing the autonomous vehicle to perform the vehicle action(s) that include at least one of stopping the autonomous vehicle at least partially in a travel way within a vicinity of the location or travelling along a second vehicle route.
