Augmented reality vehicle interfacing
Among other things, an apparatus includes a processor, and storage for instructions executable by the processor to, in connection with a trip of a person in an autonomous vehicle, select a specific location at which the person will be picked up for the trip or a specific location at a destination of the trip, and present through a user interface of a device visible information that depicts the specific location.
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
receive through a user interface of a device, an input from a user with respect to a trip of the user in an autonomous vehicle, the input indicating a feature of the autonomous vehicle that is controlled, wherein the feature is a temperature, a seat position, a seat warmer, a window position, or a state of an entertainment system, and wherein the user interface comprises a real-time presentation of augmented reality elements superimposed on a real world scene via a map showing a current position and a current trajectory of the autonomous vehicle ending at a pickup location, and a vehicle specific prompt showing the feature; and
control the feature of the autonomous vehicle using the vehicle specific prompt, wherein the vehicle specific prompt shows features of the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle approaches the pickup location.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input from the user comprises a number of passengers for the trip.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the state of the entertainment system comprises at least one of a type of entertainment content.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the state of the entertainment system comprises an identifier of a broadcast station.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input from the user comprises an identification of a source or type of content for the entertainment system.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input from the user comprises an indication of a child to be present on the trip.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input from the user comprises of information about packages for the trip.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor and at least one non-transitory storage media are part of a central autonomous vehicle system.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions executable by the at least one processor are to communicate an action to the autonomous vehicle, the action taken with respect to the autonomous vehicle to respond to the input from the user.
10. A mobile device comprising:
at least one display;
at least one processor; and
an application or a browser to cause the at least one processor to present on the at least one display a user interface with at least one option to control a feature of an autonomous vehicle for a trip, wherein the feature is a temperature inside the autonomous vehicle, a seat position, a seat warmer, a window position, or a state of an entertainment system, the user interface comprising a real-time presentation of augmented reality elements superimposed on a real world scene via a map showing a current position and a current trajectory of the autonomous vehicle ending at a pickup location and a vehicle-specific prompt showing the feature, wherein the feature is controlled using the vehicle specific prompt, wherein the vehicle specific prompt shows features of the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle approaches the pickup location.
