Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for managing a set of autonomous vehicles (AVs) configured to perform delivery tasks and computing tasks. Computing tasks can be performed such as training a model and/or calculating an incremental update for the model. As additional training data is obtained, a subset of AVs may be managed as a distributed computing cluster and assigned a computing task such as training or calculating an incremental update for the model or any suitable computing task. Corresponding data computed by the subset of AVs of the cluster (e.g., the retrained model, updated model parameters corresponding to the updated model, etc.) may be received and stored or transmitted (e.g., the computing task requestor, to the AVs, etc.) for subsequent use (e.g., for subsequent delivery tasks).
