The invention relates to a launchpad for autonomous vehicles. A launchpad is sized and shaped to accommodate an autonomous vehicle (AV) that includes at least one vehicle sensor. The launchpad includes one or more launchpad sensors located on or around the launchpad. A control subsystem receives launchpad sensor data from the launchpad sensor(s) and AV sensor data from the vehicle sensor(s).In response to the request for departure of the AV, the control subsystem determines, based at least in part upon the launchpad sensor data, whether the launchpad is free of obstructions that would prevent departure from the launchpad and determines, based at least in part upon the AV sensor data, whether the region in front of the AV is clear of obstructions that would prevent movement away from the launchpad. If both the launchpad and the region in front of the AV are free of obstructions, the AV is permitted to begin driving autonomously.

    本公开涉及自主车辆的发动台。发动台的大小和形状用以容纳包括至少一个车辆传感器的自主车辆AV。发动台包括一个或多个位于在发动台上或周围的传感器。控制子系统接收来自发动台传感器的发动台传感器数据和来自车辆传感器的AV传感器数据。响应于AV驶离的请求,控制子系统确定,基于至少部分发动台传感器数据,发动台有无阻止驶离发动台的障碍物,AV前方的区域有无阻止驶离发动台的障碍物。如果发动台和AV前方的区域都没有障碍物,AV被允许开始自主行驶。
