An autonomous vehicle (an AV, or manual vehicle in an autonomous or semi-autonomous mode) includes the ability to sense a command from a source external to the vehicle and modify the behavior of the vehicle in accordance with the command. For example, the vehicle may visualize a police officer or other person associated with traffic control and interpret gestures made by the person causing the vehicle to stop, slow down, pull over, change lanes, back up or take a different route due to unplanned traffic patterns such as accidents, harsh weather, road closings or other situations. The system and method may also be used for non-emergency purposes, including external guidance for load pick-up/placement, hailing a vehicle used as a cab, and so forth. The command may further be spoken or may include a radio frequency (RF) light or other energy component.
