Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle having one or more computing devices that may receive instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location and determine when the vehicle is within a first distance of the pickup location. When the vehicle is within the first distance, the computing devices may make a first attempt to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger. When the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle on the first attempt, the computing devices may maneuvering the vehicle in order to make a second attempt to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger. When the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle on the second attempt, the computing devices may stop the vehicle in a current lane to wait for the passenger.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及具有一个或多个计算设备的车辆，其可以接收在拾取位置处拾取乘客的指令，并且确定车辆何时位于拾取位置的第一距离内。 当车辆处于第一距离内时，计算设备可以首先尝试找到停放车辆的位置并等待乘客。 当车辆在第一次尝试时不能找到停放车辆的位置时，计算设备可以操纵车辆，以便第二次尝试找到停放车辆的位置并等待乘客。 当车辆在第二次尝试中不能找到停放车辆的位置时，计算设备可能会停在当前车道上等待乘客。

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle for maneuvering a passenger to a destination autonomously. The vehicle includes one or more computing devices that receive a request for a vehicle from a client computing device. The request identifies a first location. The one or more computing devices also determine whether the first location is within a threshold outside of a service area of the vehicle. When the location is within the threshold distance outside of the service area of the vehicle, the one or more computing devices identify a second location within the service area of the vehicle where the vehicle is able to stop for a passenger and based on the first location. The one or more computing devices then provide a map and a marker identifying the position of the second location on the map for display on the client computing device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for media guidance are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving a request to browse through a plurality of media content items; causing a plurality of media interfaces to be presented in response to receiving the request, wherein each of the plurality of media interfaces is a selectable object and includes information associated with a media content item placed within the interface; determining that a media interface from the plurality of media interfaces has been selected; causing a media content item corresponding to the selected media interface to be played back in a media player window in response to determining that the media interface has been selected; and concurrently with causing the media content item to be played back in the media player window, causing the selected media interface to be presented for a predetermined period of time, wherein the selected media interface identifies the media content item.
