Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes a detection system for identifying the presence of authorities or emergency vehicles on a road, such as law enforcement vehicles, fire engines, fire trucks, police officers, first responders, traffic cones, flares, etc. The detection system may include audio and visual detection system dedicated to the detection of authorities. Additionally, systems that correlate the detected authorities and/or any audible or visual instructions given by the authorities to changes in the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may react to the detected authorities or emergency vehicles by determining a driving related operation to safely operate around the detected authorities or emergency vehicles.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining whether snow chains are permitted to be used and to deploy snow chains based on traffic signs, weather conditions, and/or road conditions. An example method of autonomous driving operation includes performing a first determination, by a computer located in an autonomous vehicle, whether a use of snow chains is permitted based at least on a location where the autonomous vehicle is operating, performing a second determination that snow chains are required for driving the autonomous vehicle on a road, and sending, in response to the first determination indicating that the use of snow chains is permitted and in response to the second determination, instruction to snow chain devices located on the autonomous vehicle, where the instruction triggers the snow chain devices to deploy snow chains on tires of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes features that allows the AV to comply with applicable regulations and statues for safe operation. An AV may operate in conjunction with an oversight system, such as when coordinating a fleet of autonomous vehicles. One aim of AV technologies is to provide vehicles that can safely navigate towards a destination with limited or no driver assistance. AVs or other types of vehicles carrying goods may be subject to theft and other undesired disturbances. Systems, apparatus, and methods are provided to ensure a chain of custody for cargoes in an AV. Numbered seals are attached to the doors of an AV to detect unauthorized door open operations. Unauthorized vehicle stops are also detected based on position tracking information of the AV. Changes in cargo weight can also be detected.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an autonomous vehicle to provide the autonomous vehicle's health-related information, identification information, and/or inspection information to a device that may be used by law enforcement or a government agency or a third-party so that the autonomous vehicle can comply with government regulations and can continue to operate on the road.
