Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products comprising a non-crosslinked binder that are durable and dispersible. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3?. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the present invention surprisingly provides a tissue product having a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.

One of the methods includes obtaining data specifying a target pull-over location for an autonomous vehicle travelling on a roadway. A plurality of candidate pull-over locations in a vicinity of the target pull-over location are identified.

The features of the candidate pull-over location include one or more features that compare the candidate pull-over location to the target pull-over location. Using the respective likelihood scores, one of the candidate pull-over locations is selected as an actual pull-over location for the autonomous vehicle.
