Pickup and drop off zones for autonomous vehicles |
摘要 |
Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing information about a vehicle dispatched to pick up the user. In one example, a request for the vehicle to stop at a particular location is sent. In response, information identifying a current location of the vehicle is received. A map is generated. The map includes a first marker identifying the received location of the vehicle, a second marker identifying the particular location, and a shape defining an area around the second marker at which the vehicle may stop. The shape has an edge at least a minimum distance greater than zero from the second marker. A route is displayed on the map between the first marker and the shape such that the route ends at the shape and does not reach the second marker. Progress of the vehicle towards the area along the route is displayed based on received updated location information for the vehicle. |

1. A method comprising:
sending, by a client computing device having one or more processors, a request for a vehicle to stop at a particular location; in response to the request, receiving, by the client computing device, information identifying a current location of the vehicle; generating, by the client computing device, a map for display, the map including a first marker identifying the location of the vehicle, a second marker identifying the particular location, and a shape defining an area around the second marker at which the vehicle may stop, the shape having an edge at least a minimum distance greater than zero from the second marker; displaying, by the client computing device, on a display of the client computing device, a route on the map between the first marker and the shape such that the route ends at the shape and does not reach the second marker; receiving, by the client computing device, updated location information for the vehicle; and displaying, by the client computing device, on the display progress of the vehicle towards the area along the route based on the updated location information. |
