Abstract
Techniques for controlling a vehicle to select parking spaces are discussed herein. The vehicle may receive a request to travel to a destination and obtain information about a first set and a second set of parking spaces within a threshold distance of the destination. The vehicle may determine a first likelihood of availability associated with the first set of parking spaces and a second likelihood of availability associated with the second set of parking spaces. The vehicle may determine a first cost associated with a first route to the first set of parking spaces and a second cost associated with a second route to the second set of parking spaces by the cost function. Upon determining that the first cost is equal to or less than the second cost, the vehicle may navigate based on the first route and park within one of the first set of parking spaces.
