Abstract
An on-demand transport system can manage an on-demand transportation service for a given region by matching requesting users with drivers and the AVs, where the AVs utilize localization maps and live sensor data to autonomously operate throughout the given region. The transport system can identify a local anomaly within the given region that affects AV performance. The transport system can transmit a routing invitation a driver to provide feedback corresponding to the local anomaly. Based on feedback data received from the driver, the transport system can transmit an update to AVs intersecting the local anomaly to enable the intersecting AVs to resolve the local anomaly.
