Abstract
Among other things, a vehicle is caused to drive autonomously through a road network toward a defined goal position. Current information is analyzed about potential stopping places in the vicinity of the goal position, to make a choice of a currently selected stopping place that is acceptable and feasible. The vehicle is caused to drive autonomously toward the currently selected stopping place. The activities are repeated until the vehicle stops at a currently selected stopping place.
