Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide for wait times for pickups of passengers involving autonomous vehicles. For instance, a request for a trip identifying a pickup location may be received from a client computing device. A plurality of potential pickup locations may be identified. A subset of the plurality of potential pickup locations may be determined. A wait time may be assigned to each of the potential pickup locations of the subset. Each wait time may correspond to an estimated amount of time an autonomous vehicle can wait for the user at a respective one of the potential pickup locations of the subset. The potential pickup locations of the subset and the assigned wait times may be sent to the client computing device for display to a user.
