Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed of a data center including a plurality of computers. A communication interface is communicatively coupled to the plurality of computers and adapted to communicate, wirelessly or by wire, between the plurality of computers, a user device, and at least one autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) computer. Instructions are stored in the plurality of computers that cause one or more of the plurality of computers to receive a user computing request from the user device. The computers determine whether there is an available ADV computer to execute the user computing request. If there is an available ADV computer to execute the user computing request, the computers reconfigure the available ADV computer from autonomous driving mode to computing mode, and transmit the user computing request for execution by the ADV computer. If no ADV computer is available to execute the computing request, then the request is executed by one or more of the plurality of computers.
