Abstract: The technology uses augmented reality (AR) elements for enhanced wayfinding with autonomous vehicle pickups and drop-offs. The approach includes generating, for presentation in a first region of a client device UI, trip information regarding a trip. Map information associated with the trip is generated for presentation in a second UI region, including at least one of a pickup location for a rider, a walking path from a current location of the rider to the pickup location, a planned route of the vehicle to the pickup location, or a current location of the vehicle. An AR indicator is generated for presentation in the second UI region. Upon selection of the indicator, the system modifies the second region into a first section to display at least a portion of the map information and a second section to display an augmented reality view, or replace the map information with the AR view.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for enabling distribution or prepositioning of roadside assistance vehicles within a service area for a fleet of autonomous vehicles. For instance, a clustering approach may be used to determine an assignment identifying a plurality of cluster locations and respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles. The clustering approach uses a number of clusters corresponding to the number of the roadside assistance vehicles. Distribution information may be sent to computing devices associated with technicians of the respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles. The distribution information may enable the technicians of the respective assigned ones of the roadside assistance vehicles to proceed to the cluster locations of the determined assignment.
