Abstract

A self-driving vehicle (SDV) can analyze a live sensor view to autonomously operate acceleration, braking, and steering systems of the SDV along a current route. The SDV can identify an indeterminate object in the live sensor view, and encoding sensor data identifying the indeterminate object for transmission to a backend transport system over one or more networks. The SDV may then receive a resolution response from the backend transport system to resolve the indeterminate object, and cause the SDV to proceed in accordance with the resolution response.
