Abstract

An autonomous vehicle service system having a display device, a receiver, and a controller. The receiver is remote from an autonomous vehicle and configured to receive transmitted data from a third party and the autonomous vehicle. The controller is configured to monitor the transmitted data related to the status of the autonomous vehicle, and cause information related to the autonomous vehicle to be displayed on the display device, the controller further configured to enable the autonomous vehicle service system to be accessed by the third party so as to be capable of forming and updating a supervision zone to restrict access to an area by the autonomous vehicle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An autonomous vehicle service system, comprising:
 a display device;   a non-moveable receiver remote from an autonomous vehicle and configured to receive transmitted data from a third party and the autonomous vehicle; and   an electronic controller configured to monitor the transmitted data related to the status of the autonomous vehicle, and cause information related to the autonomous vehicle to be displayed on the display device, the controller further configured to enable the autonomous vehicle service system to be accessed by the third party so as to be capable of forming and updating a supervision zone to restrict access to an area by the autonomous vehicle.   
     
     
         2 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to enable the third party to control the autonomous vehicle.   
     
     
         3 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to enable the third party to supplement the information displayed on the display device.   
     
     
         4 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the information related to the autonomous vehicle displayed in an information display area on the display device is displayed as a ticket that is color coded to match the autonomous vehicle displayed in a map on the display device.   
     
     
         5 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to predict when the autonomous vehicle requires assistance based on the transmitted data.   
     
     
         6 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to predict when the autonomous vehicle requires assistance based on a route of the autonomous vehicle. 
     
     
         7 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to cause an alert related to the autonomous vehicle to be displayed on the display device. 
     
     
         8 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , further comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a route update to the autonomous vehicle. 
     
     
         9 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 8 , further comprising a storage device configured to store the route update. 
     
     
         10 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the display device to display the route update. 
     
     
         11 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 8 , wherein
 the controller is configured to cause the transmitter to transmit the route update to another autonomous vehicle.   
     
     
         12 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 8 , further comprising a user input device configured to input information to create the route update. 
     
     
         13 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to cause information related to the autonomous vehicle to be displayed on the display device based on a request from the autonomous vehicle.   
     
     
         14 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to determine that the autonomous vehicle requires assistance when the autonomous vehicle has been stopped for a predetermined amount of time.   
     
     
         15 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the autonomous vehicle is a first vehicle of a plurality of autonomous vehicles, and the controller is configured to monitor transmitted data related to status of each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles, and determine when each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles requires assistance based on the transmitted data.   
     
     
         16 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to cause information related to the autonomous vehicle to be displayed on the display device, simultaneously with a location of the autonomous vehicle on a map.   
     
     
         17 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the receiver is configured to receive an image transmitted by a camera on the autonomous vehicle, and   the display device is configured to display the image.   
     
     
         18 . The autonomous vehicle service system of  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to update road conditions based on updated road information received from the third party.
