Abstract

Technologies for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an autonomous vehicle (AV) associated with a ride request. In some examples, a method for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an AV associated with a ride request can include receiving a user request for a ride from an AV, wherein the user request specifies a pick-up location associated with a user; receiving data indicating a state and/or context of the AV while the AV is en route to the pick-up location; generating, based on the data indicating the state and/or context of the AV, one or more visual indicators of the state and/or context of the AV; and presenting, at a display interface, a map depicting the one or more visual indicators of the state and/or context of the AV, the state and/or context of the AV including a location of the AV and/or one or more AV operations.
