Systems and methods for providing inter-vehicle communication are disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a fleet management system, operating data from one or more self-driving vehicles via a communication network, and operating the fleet management system to determine a characteristic of a set of vehicles of one or more self-driving vehicles satisfies at least one communication condition. In response to determining the set of vehicles satisfies the at least one communication condition, the fleet management system can operate to select a stored data portion from a manager storage unit based at least on the characteristic of the set of vehicles; and transmit the data portion to the set of vehicles via the communication network. A method of providing inter-vehicle communication between one or more self-driving vehicles is also disclosed.

Communication systems for self-driving vehicles, and methods of providing thereof

Systems and methods for self-driving vehicle traffic management are disclosed. The system comprises one or more self-driving vehicles. One or more vehicles has a sensor system, a control system, and a drive system. The control system is configured to determine a current position and an intent position associated with itself, and to receive a current position and intent decision associated with a neighbor vehicle. The control system then determines a current spacing and relative spacing between itself and the neighbor vehicle. Based on the current and intent positions, the current spacing, and the relative spacing, the control system determines that the vehicle should yield to the neighbor vehicle, and sends a yield signal to the drive system in order to cause the vehicle to yield to the neighbor vehicle.
