Methods, apparatuses, and systems for scheduling tasks to field professionals include: storing, in a database, a plurality of records reflecting characteristics associated with completing a set of technical services, wherein information in each record is derived from historical experience of completing each of the technical services; receiving a request for a new technical service associated with a location; and assigning a field professional to perform the new service having determined from information in the database a likelihood that the field professional will complete the new technical service in a single on-site visit at the location.

A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.

A system, a method and a device for planning a driving path for a vehicle are described. In one example aspect, the device is configured to: analyze sense data to obtain positioning data of vehicles; assign vehicle transportation tasks to an unmanned vehicle and a manned vehicle in the predetermined area in accordance with a predetermined transportation task, each vehicle transportation task including a transportation start point and a transportation end point; plan driving paths for the unmanned vehicle and the manned vehicle based on the assigned vehicle transportation tasks, the vehicle positioning data and map data; transmit the assigned transportation task and the planned driving path for the unmanned vehicle to the unmanned vehicle; and transmit the assigned transportation task and the planned driving path for the manned vehicle to a mobile device corresponding to the manned vehicle.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided mapping. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method including generating, by a user equipment, a user interface view including a map and a polyline representative of a route along the map; and generating, by the user equipment, the polyline to include at least one graphically distinct indicator along the route, wherein the at least one graphically distinct indicator, when selected at the user interface, initiates presentation of a video recorded at a location on the route where the at least one graphically distinct indicator is located. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

A system and method for processing directional feedback. A free form path is received at a server from a first directional interface utilized by a user. The free form path is converted to directional feedback. The free form path is aligned to available paths communicated by the first directional interface utilizing mapping information to generate the directional feedback. The directional feedback is sent from the server to one or more directional interfaces utilized by one or more users associated with the first directional interface.

A system for providing a recommended route for a vehicle, from a current location to an intermediate destination, to a final destination. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to determine a vehicle range exceeding a distance between the current location of the vehicle and the intermediate destination. The ECU is configured to determine a baseline route having a first section and a second section. The ECU is configured to determine a first energy source of the first section and a second energy source of the second section. The ECU is configured to determine a first cost associated with incorporating the first energy source and a second cost associated with incorporating the second energy source. The ECU is also configured to determine the recommended route based on the first cost and the second cost. The system also includes an output unit configured to output the recommended route.

The disclosed technology provides solutions for facilitating the selection of a parking space by a user of a parking application. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for monitoring sensor data and location data associated with a user device, retrieving, based on the location data associated with a user device, listing data associated with one or more parking spaces in a vicinity of the user device, and capturing image data that includes at least a portion of the one or more parking spaces. In some aspects, the process may further include steps for overlaying one or more graphical objects onto the image data, wherein the one or more graphical objects are based on the listing data associated with the one or more parking spaces. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

A device for displaying a distance to empty of an electric vehicle is provided. The device includes a detector configured to detect state information of the vehicle and a controller configured to estimate a weight of the vehicle based on the state information of the vehicle and determine whether to update the distance to empty based on the estimated weight.

Embodiments herein can determine an optimal route for an autonomous electric vehicle. The system may score viable routes between the start and end locations of a trip using a numeric or other scale that denotes how viable the route is for autonomy. The score is adjusted using a variety of factors where a learning process leverages both offline and online data. The scored routes are not based simply on the shortest distance between the start and end points but determine the best route based on the driving context for the vehicle and the user.
