Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for creating a database of pull-off areas for a vehicle based on aggregated pull-off information received from a plurality of vehicles and other sources. In one embodiment, the aggregated, crowd-sourced pull-off information may be available to a mobile device (such as an autonomous vehicle or mobile communication device) for reference by the device to understand the condition, location, and availability of potential pull-off areas near a roadway.
