Abstract: An example method includes (a) obtaining a pull-over command indicating the autonomous vehicle is to pull-over to a side of a travel way; (b) in response to the pull-over command, obtaining map data indicative of a plurality of pull-over locations for the autonomous vehicle; (c) determining one or more candidate pull-over locations for the autonomous vehicle based on the map data and a route of the autonomous vehicle; (d) determining a ranking of the candidate pull-over locations based on a feasibility of the autonomous vehicle completing a stop at each respective candidate pull-over location and a quality of each respective candidate pull-over location; (e) based on the ranking of the candidate pull-over locations, determining a selected pull-over location for the autonomous vehicle; and (f) controlling a motion of the autonomous vehicle based on the selected pull-over location.
