Autonomous vehicle systems and methods

This system helps an autonomous mower efficiently cut grass across multiple separate areas. It stores a map of these areas and potential paths, then calculates various routes that fully cover the ground. For each route, it estimates the total energy consumption and then instructs the mower to follow the path that uses the least amount of energy.

Why it matters: Since 2020, advances in AI-driven optimization algorithms and more precise, affordable mapping sensors have made complex, energy-efficient route planning for autonomous vehicles significantly more practical. This could simplify the "determining a least cost route" aspect.
