Collaborative vehicle path generation

This invention describes a system where a remote operator assists an autonomous vehicle with navigation. The remote system receives sensor data from the vehicle, generates a few possible paths, and presents them for selection. The chosen path is then sent to the autonomous vehicle, which uses it as a guide to generate its own final control path, rather than simply executing the remote suggestion. The remote system can also send a 'weight' with the chosen path, which the autonomous vehicle uses to refine its own path generation and selection.

Why it matters: Filed before the rapid advancements in AI for real-time predictive modeling and complex decision-making. Modern AI can now more effectively generate and evaluate candidate trajectories, making the collaborative path generation and potential AI teleoperator components significantly more robust.
