Publication number: 20250389545Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2025Publication date: December 25, 2025Inventors: Kevin Malta, Bruce Mai, Reed Morse, Victor Chan, Celia Zhang, Jonathan Willing, Shiqian Zhang, Donghyun Kim
