Latest Patents

One of her latest patents focuses on systems and methods for matching transportation requestor devices with autonomous vehicles. This innovative computer-implemented method identifies and notifies requestors who may be candidates for a particular autonomous vehicle. The goal is to find those candidates who are willing or able to relax their travel constraints to match the autonomous vehicle. The request flow involves surfacing the potential option of matching to an autonomous vehicle before a specific destination is set. For instance, the method determines if an autonomous vehicle is sufficiently near an in-session potential requestor. Before the potential requestor enters a specific destination, the request flow presents the possibility of being matched with the autonomous vehicle. Additionally, it provides available drop-off locations compatible with the autonomous vehicle for selection by the potential requestor.
