Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method of providing a destination to an autonomous vehicle in order to enable the autonomous vehicle to collect data according to a targeted driving goal. For instance, a current location of an autonomous vehicle may be received. A set of destinations may be selected from a plurality of predetermined destinations. A route may be determined for each destination. A relevance score may be determined for each destination based on the determined routes and the targeted driving goal. Each destination may be assigned to one of a set of two or more buckets based on the relevance scores. A destination of the set may be selected based on a predetermined sampling probability. The selected destination is sent to the autonomous vehicle in order to cause the autonomous vehicle to travel to the selected destination in an autonomous driving mode.
