The invention relates to vehicle rideshare localization and passenger identification for autonomous vehicles. Various disclosed embodiments include methods of locating an intended passenger of an automotive vehicle and vehicle-based systems for locating an intended passenger of an automotive vehicle. In an illustrative embodiment, a method of locating an intended passenger of an automotive vehicle includes: moving an automotive vehicle to an approximate location of an intended passenger based on a location signal from the intended passenger received via a wireless network; after moving to the approximate location of the intended passenger, receiving, by the vehicle, an image from an electronic device of the intended passenger, the image being an image of the intended passenger or an image of local physical surroundings of the intended passenger; processing the image to determine additional location information of the intended passenger based on matching the image against one or more reference images; and accepting by the vehicle, the intended passenger responsive to the image processing.
本公开涉及用于自主车辆的车辆共乘定位和乘客识别。各种公开的实施例包括定位机动车辆的预期乘客的方法和用于定位机动车辆的预期乘客的基于车辆的系统。在说明性实施例中,一种定位机动车辆的预期乘客的方法包括:基于通过无线网络接收的来自预期乘客的位置信号将机动车辆移动到预期乘客的近似位置;在移动到所述预期乘客的近似位置之后,由所述车辆从所述预期乘客的电子装置接收图像,所述图像是所述预期乘客的图像或所述预期乘客的局部物理环境的图像;基于对照一个或多个参考图像匹配所述图像来处理所述图像以确定所述预期乘客的附加位置信息;以及响应于图像处理由车辆接受所述预期乘客。
