Abstract

An autonomous vehicle is provided herein. During operation, a person (e.g., a public-safety officer) will be assigned a task or mission that is identified by an identifier (e.g., an incident identifier, public-safety incident identifier, or an incident type). The incident identifier will be provided to the autonomous vehicle, and the autonomous vehicle will choose to “follow” the officer or not based on the incident identifier. Because the autonomous vehicle described above will only “follow” the officer for certain incident types, the officer will be able to perform many of their tasks without the annoyance of an automobile following them.
