Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for enabling distribution or prepositioning of roadside assistance vehicles within a service area for a fleet of autonomous vehicles. For instance, a clustering approach may be used to determine an assignment identifying a plurality of cluster locations and respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles. The clustering approach uses a number of clusters corresponding to the number of the roadside assistance vehicles. Distribution information may be sent to computing devices associated with technicians of the respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles. The distribution information may enable the technicians of the respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles to proceed to the cluster locations of the determined assignment.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling an autonomous vehicle. For instance, dispatching instructions including a destination location and a trip plan identifying a selected route may be received. The route was selected by a user from a set of two or more routes. The trip plan may be used to determine whether to user the selected route or a new route. The autonomous vehicle may be controlled to the destination location based on the determination.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for generating and using a model for identifying a plurality of pick up or drop off locations for a large venue point of interest. For instance, a large venue point of interest may be identified. The plurality may be identified for the large venue point of interest based on a combination of historical trip data and map information. The plurality may be associated with the large venue point of interest. The association may be stored in memory for later use. Thereafter, a request for a trip identifying the large venue point of interest may be received from a client computing device, and the plurality may be provided to the client computing device in response to the request. A pickup and drop off location of the plurality may be provided to an autonomous vehicle in order to cause the autonomous vehicle to transport a passenger to the pickup or drop off location.
