Among other things, a planning process is associated with an autonomous vehicle. The planning process has inputs including static map data and dynamic data from sensors on the autonomous vehicle and outputs including a route to be driven through a road network to reach a goal position, a continually updated choice of a currently selected stopping place in the vicinity of the goal position, and a trajectory to be executed through a road network to reach the currently selected stopping place. A communication element communicates information about the updated choice of a currently selected stopping place to a device of a passenger, receives from the device of the passenger information about the goal position, and delivers the information to the planning process as an input.
