Abstract
Systems and methods for autonomous vehicle state management are provided. An offboard state service can obtain a vehicle command associated with changing an onboard-defined state of an autonomous vehicle. Data indicative of the command can be provided to a computing system onboard the autonomous vehicle. The onboard computing system can initiate a vehicle action in accordance with the command and provide a command response indicative of an updated vehicle status for the onboard-defined state to the state service. In response, the state service can update a current status for the onboard-defined state as represented by a vehicle profile corresponding to the autonomous vehicle. The state service can generate an update event indicative of the vehicle state and the updated current status and publish the update event to a distributed event stream such that a number of devices subscribed to the event stream can receive data indicative of the update event.
