    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing vehicle information to operators and service people without the use of a tool enabling communication directly between the vehicle and the operator or service person. In particular, systems and methods are provided for receiving a vehicle data request from an operator mobile device application, identifying a vehicle in close proximity to the operator mobile device, obtaining most recent vehicle data, and transmitting the requested vehicle data to the operator mobile device. Additionally, systems and methods are provided for the operator to request various capabilities with respect to the vehicles, such as vehicle access.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cleaning and inspection of electric vehicles. The systems and methods for automated cleaning eliminate the need for human interaction with the vehicle and/or cleaning system. Vehicle cleaning is typically a heavily manual task that consumes operation personnel time and resources. Providing automated systems and methods for vehicle cleaning can reduce human resources used for cleaning. Additionally, automated cleaning systems and methods can increase vehicle utilization efficiency by decreasing downtime for cleaning. In various implementations, systems and methods are provided for automated vehicle inspections. In some examples, automated vehicle inspections can occur concurrently with automated vehicle cleaning.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated charging of electric vehicles. The systems and methods for automated charging eliminate the need for human interaction with the vehicle and/or charging system. Additionally, systems and methods are provided for a high-utilization system in which one robotic system can be used to connect and disconnect multiple chargers to vehicles in a facility. In particular, a system is provided for connecting and disconnecting electric vehicles with chargers, without each charger having its own robotic arm. In some examples, an overhead gantry system includes a robotic arm that can move from charger to charger to connect (and/or disconnect) vehicles. In other examples, a ground-based robot moves from charger to charger to connect (and/or disconnect) vehicles.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to autonomous vehicle (AV) training, more specifically, to AV training in a collaborative synthetic environment (e.g., a metaverse). In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a process for collecting road data representing a real-world environment encountered by an autonomous vehicle and generating, using the road data, a synthetic environment representative of the real-world environment. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for establishing a connection between the synthetic environment and a remote device, wherein the remote device, and receiving a set of instructions from a user for interacting with the synthetic (virtual) environment. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for modifying the synthetic environment based on instructions received from the user.
