Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses described herein are directed to automated vehicle diagnostics and maintenance. For example, vehicles can include sensors monitoring vehicle components, for perceiving objects and obstacles in an environment, and for navigating the vehicle to a destination. Data from these and other sensors can be leveraged to track a performance of the vehicle over time to determine a state of vehicle components, and/or changes to acceleration/deceleration and steering behavior of the vehicle over time. As issues for servicing are determined, the methods, apparatuses, and systems can include automated scheduling of vehicle maintenance. For example, based on a determination of the potential issues based on sensor data and/or user indications, vehicle maintenance can be scheduled to be performed in the field or at a service center. Technicians can be assigned to perform vehicle maintenance based on the servicing issue and/or on capabilities of the technician.
