Patent ID: 8874360

Claim:
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to: generate, at a first autonomous vehicle, a first planned path from at least a current position of the first autonomous vehicle to a destination, the first planned path being based, at least in part, on the current position of the first autonomous vehicle and a mission requirement assigned to the first autonomous vehicle to be performed at the destination; receive, at the first autonomous vehicle, from a second autonomous vehicle, a first planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle, the first planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle being from at least a current position of the second autonomous vehicle to the destination and being based, at least in part, on the current position of the second autonomous vehicle and a mission requirement assigned to the second autonomous vehicle to be performed at the destination; after the first planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle is received, generate, at the first autonomous vehicle, a second planned path to the destination based, at least in part, on the first planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle and the mission requirement assigned to the first autonomous vehicle; transmit the second planned path of the first autonomous vehicle from the first autonomous vehicle to the second autonomous vehicle; and receive, at the first autonomous vehicle, from the second autonomous vehicle, a second planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle to the destination such that the first autonomous vehicle performs the mission requirement assigned to the first autonomous vehicle at the destination while the second autonomous vehicle performs the mission requirement assigned to the second autonomous vehicle at the destination, the second planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle differing from the first planned path associated with the second autonomous vehicle.
