Abstract
Systems and methods for vehicle-to-vehicle communications are provided. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining from a first autonomous vehicle, by a second autonomous vehicle, a first compressed intermediate environmental representation. The first compressed intermediate environmental representation is indicative of at least a portion of an environment of the second autonomous vehicle. The method includes generating a first decompressed intermediate environmental representation by decompressing the first compressed intermediate environmental representation. The method includes determining, using one or more machine-learned models, an updated intermediate environmental representation based at least in part on the first decompressed intermediate environmental representation and a second intermediate environmental representation generated by the second autonomous vehicle. The method includes generating an autonomy output for the second autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the updated intermediate environmental representation.
