Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating scouting objectives in order to update map information used to control a fleet of vehicles in an autonomous driving mode. For instance, a notification from a vehicle of the fleet identifying a feature and a location of the feature may be received. A first bound for a scouting area may be identified based on the location of the feature. A second bound for the scouting area may be identified based on a lane closest to the feature. A scouting objective may be generated for the feature based on the first bound and the second bound.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to pedestrian countdown signal classification to increase pedestrian behavior legibility. An example embodiment includes a method that includes obtaining, by a computing system of a vehicle, a camera image patch. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, using the camera image patch and a pedestrian countdown signal classifier model, a state of a pedestrian countdown signal. The method also includes determining, by the computing system based on the state of the pedestrian countdown signal, a prediction of whether a pedestrian will enter a crosswalk governed by the pedestrian countdown signal. And the method includes, based on the prediction, causing, by the computing system, the vehicle to perform an invitation action that invites a pedestrian to enter the crosswalk.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode. For instance, a current state of a traffic light may be determined. One of a plurality of yellow light durations may be selected based on the current state of the traffic light. When the traffic light will turn red may be predicted based on the selected one. The prediction may be used to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to providing service area maps for an autonomous vehicle transportation service having a fleet of vehicles. For instance, each vehicle of the fleet is associated with a polygon corresponding to a service area for that vehicle. A first location may be received from a client computing device, and a set of vehicles of the fleet of vehicles that are currently available to provide transportation services may be identified based on the first location. The polygons associated with each of the set of vehicles may be used to determine a first polygon having a geographic area. A first portion of map information corresponding to the geographic area of the first polygon may be identified, and the first portion may be provided to the client computing device for display to a user such that the portion represents a currently available service area for the user.
