Adjusting Climate and Other Controls in an Autonomous Ridesharc Vehicle

摘要

The present disclosure looks at (a) giving customers great user interface (Ul), (b) describes optimizations for their harmonious interaction within an AV, and (c) extends the AV's range-particularly when operating in extreme climates-by carefully managing climate controls. High-level goals may include providing customers with multiple mechanisms to adjust controls. This may include an app that runs on the customers device, a pcr-seat voice interface that understands that seat's "window", "light", "HVAC setting", etc., a ML system that identifies a person cramped for space, too hot, too cold, etc., where the AV can offer suggestions, e.g., "would you like me to give you more legroom?", and/or the back-end associated with the AV can keep a representation of customer preferences (HVAC, seat pose, etc.) where it can pre-configure the AV appropriately just before picking them up.
