SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FLEET ROAD DE-ICING WITH AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

An autonomous vehicle is provided. The autonomous vehicle includes one or more sensors and an autonomy computing system. The autonomy computing system includes at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is programmed to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, and receive weather-related data from a mission control computing system. The weather-related data include fleet data from autonomous vehicles in a fleet. The fleet includes the autonomous vehicle. The at least one processor is further programmed to determine an icy condition is present based on the sensor data and the fleet data, and determine de-icing strategies based on the icy condition.
