Abstract
The disclosed technology provides solutions for providing an accurate pick-up location for an autonomous vehicle and a rider during a ride hailing pick-up. A method of the disclosed technology can include steps for determining map information associated with at least one thoroughfare for routing an autonomous vehicle, wherein the map information is based on location data associated with a client device requesting the autonomous vehicle; receiving sensor data from the client device corresponding to the at least one thoroughfare; determining, based on the sensor data and the map information, a first position of the client device relative to the at least one thoroughfare; and routing the autonomous vehicle based on the first position of the client device relative to the at least one thoroughfare. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
