Abstract
An autonomous driving system for an autonomous vehicle includes an automated driving controller wirelessly connected to a towing taxi. The automated driving controller determines the autonomous driving system is non-functional. In response to determining the autonomous driving system is non-functional, the automated driving controller generates a notification indicating the autonomous driving system is non-functional. The automated driving controller receives, from the towing taxi, a current data string including a data point corresponding to a current point in time in combination with a predicted data point for each of one or more predicted points of time in the future. The current data string is compared with a previous data string recorded at a previous point in time. In response to determining the current data string matches the previous data string, the automated driving controller determines one or more driving maneuvers for the autonomous vehicle based on the current data string.
