Abstract
Systems and methods for vehicle-to-vehicle communications are provided. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining, by a computing system onboard a first autonomous vehicle, sensor data associated with an environment of the first autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining, by the computing system, an intermediate environmental representation of at least a portion of the environment of the first autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the sensor data. The method includes generating, by the computing system, a compressed intermediate environmental representation by compressing the intermediate environmental representation of at least the portion of the environment of the first autonomous vehicle. The method includes communicating, by the computing system, the compressed intermediate environmental representation to a second autonomous vehicle.
