Abstract

Autonomous vehicles may include one or more onboard devices to perform various actions, such as a still image capture device. In contrast with using an auxiliary communication system to control a payload, a vehicle navigation sensor is used to monitor autonomous vehicle movements to match a predefined vehicle maneuver event, and trigger a payload event based on identification of the vehicle maneuver event. For example, this allows an autopilot system or a remote drone pilot to initiate an image capture device or send other commands based on vehicle maneuver event recognition.
