DYNAMIC AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE MUTUALITY SUPPORT FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE NETWORKS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention describe creating a mesh network of autonomous vehicles. Embodiments describe, for a set of autonomous vehicles configured to perform joint tasks, creating a plurality of subset networks of autonomous vehicles based on geographical proximity, wherein the plurality of subset networks of autonomous vehicles overlap to form a mesh network of autonomous vehicles, and wherein the mesh network of autonomous vehicles and the subset networks of autonomous vehicles support a non-centralized task assignment feature to assign tasks to autonomous vehicles in the mesh network. Additionally, embodiments describe sending a status signal to a first autonomous vehicle in the mesh network via a second autonomous vehicle in the mesh network, wherein the first autonomous vehicle is in a same subset network of autonomous vehicles as the second autonomous vehicle.
