Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating real-time autonomous vehicle (AV) fleet parking availability. In some aspects, an embodiment includes determining, based on a first set of perception sensor inputs of an AV, sections of roadway that are used for vehicle parking; determining, based on a second set of perception sensor inputs, whether the sections of roadway are allowable for parking and are available for parking; transmitting parking location data comprising identification of parking location objects corresponding to the sections of roadway and signals indicating that the parking location object is used for vehicle parking, indicating whether the parking location object is allowable for parking, and indicating whether the parking location object is available for parking, wherein the parking location data is aggregated with other parking location data from other AVs into aggregated parking location data; and identifying a location for parking of the AV based on the aggregated parking location data.
