Automated vehicle seats
Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example a vehicle computing system can receive occupancy data that includes information associated with occupancy of a vehicle that includes seats. One or more states of the vehicle can be determined. The states of the vehicle can include a disposition of any object that is within the vehicle. Further, a configuration of the seats in the vehicle can be determined based on the occupancy data and the states of the vehicle. The configuration can include a disposition of the seats inside the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the seats can be adjusted based on the configuration that was determined.
1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
a plurality of seats; and
an autonomous vehicle control system including one or more processors that are configured to:
access data indicative of a configuration of an interior of the autonomous vehicle, wherein the configuration comprises a layout of the plurality of seats for accommodating one or more passengers;
receive occupancy data indicative of cargo for a delivery service;
adjust, based on the occupancy data, a seat of the plurality of seats to reconfigure the interior of the autonomous vehicle for the delivery service; and
communicate a signal to illuminate a light to indicate an area for placement of the cargo.
2. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein adjusting, based on the occupancy data, the seat of the plurality of seats to reconfigure the interior of the autonomous vehicle for the delivery service comprises:
providing a signal to adjust the seat to fit into a second seat of the plurality of seats to create greater space for the cargo.
3. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the configuration of the interior of the autonomous vehicle comprises a location the seat of the plurality of seats, an orientation of the seat of the plurality of seats, or a seating position of the seat of the plurality of seats.
4. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the occupancy data is indicative of a size of the cargo for the delivery service.
5. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the occupancy data is indicative of a type of the cargo for the delivery service.
6. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the occupancy data is indicative of a desired layout for the interior of the autonomous vehicle.
7. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a display device.
8. The autonomous vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors of the autonomous vehicle control system are configured to:
communicate, to the display device for display, data indicative of the interior of the autonomous vehicle.
9. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the light is one of a plurality of lights within the interior of the autonomous vehicle.
10. An autonomous vehicle control system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory comprising one or more computer-readable media, the memory storing computer-readable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
accessing data indicative of a configuration of an interior of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the configuration comprises a layout of the plurality of seats for accommodating one or more passengers;
receiving occupancy data indicative of cargo for a delivery service;
adjusting, based on the occupancy data, a seat of the plurality of seats to reconfigure the interior of the autonomous vehicle for the delivery service; and
communicating a signal to illuminate a light to indicate an area for placement of the cargo.
11. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 10 , wherein adjusting, based on the occupancy data, the seat of the plurality of seats to reconfigure the interior of the autonomous vehicle for the delivery service comprises:
communicating a signal to adjust a location of the seat within the interior of the vehicle.
12. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 11 , the location of the seat is adjustable within the interior of the autonomous vehicle by fitting the seat into a second seat of the plurality of seats to create greater space for the cargo.
13. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 10 , wherein the configuration of the interior of the autonomous vehicle comprises a location of the plurality of seats, an orientation of the plurality of seats, or a seating position of the plurality of seats.
14. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 10 , wherein the occupancy data is indicative of at least one of: (i) a size of the cargo for the delivery service; or (ii) a type of the cargo for the delivery service.
15. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
communicating data indicative of the interior of the autonomous vehicle for display through a display device.
16. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 15 , wherein the display device is located within the interior of the autonomous vehicle.
17. The autonomous vehicle control system of claim 10 , wherein the light is within the interior of the autonomous vehicle.
18. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
accessing data indicative of a configuration of an interior of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the configuration comprises a layout of the plurality of seats for accommodating one or more passengers;
receiving occupancy data indicative of cargo for a delivery service;
adjusting, based on the occupancy data, a seat of the plurality of seats to reconfigure the interior of the autonomous vehicle for the delivery service; and
communicating a signal to illuminate a light to indicate an area for placement of the cargo.
