Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the disclosure provide for depot behaviors for autonomous vehicles. for instance, a signal to control an autonomous vehicle to a depot area may be received from a server computing device. a prioritized list of staging areas within the depot area may be identified. each staging area of the prioritized list of staging areas enables the vehicle to observe stopping locations at which a need of the vehicle may be addressed. the vehicle may be controlled to a first staging area of the prioritized list. once the vehicle has reached the first staging area, whether a stopping location that meets one or more needs of the vehicle is available may be determined. when is available, the vehicle may be controlled to the available stopping location. when not available, the vehicle may be controlled to a second staging area of the prioritized list.
