Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle for maneuvering a passenger to a destination autonomously. The vehicle includes one or more computing devices and a set of user input buttons for communicating requests to stop the vehicle and to initiate a trip to the destination with the one or more computing devices. The set of user input buttons consisting essentially of a dual-purpose button and an emergency stopping button different from the dual-purpose button configured to stop the vehicle. The dual-purpose button has a first purpose for communicating a request to initiate the trip to the destination and a second purpose for communicating a request to pull the vehicle over and stop the vehicle. The vehicle has no steering wheel and no user inputs for the steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the vehicle other than the set of user input buttons.

1. A vehicle for maneuvering a passenger to a destination autonomously, the vehicle comprising: one or more computing devices;a set of user input buttons configured to communicate requests to stop the vehicle and to initiate a trip to the destination with the one or more computing devices, the set of user input buttons consisting essentially of: a dual-purpose button having a first purpose to communicate a request to initiate the trip to the destination and a second purpose to communicate a request to pull the vehicle over and stop the vehicle, wherein the second purpose is only available after the dual-purpose button has been activated according to the first purpose, andan emergency stopping button different from the dual-purpose button, the emergency stopping button configured to stop the vehicle. 2. The vehicle of claim 1, further comprising one or more short range wireless network connections configured to communicate between the one or more computing devices and a client computing device. 3. The vehicle of claim 1, further comprising one or more wireless network connections configured to communicate between the one or more computing devices and a server computing device, wherein the wireless network connections allow for the server computing device to relay information received from a client computing device to the one or more computing devices. 4. The vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a microphone configured to provide user input to the one or more computing devices. 5. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein a drive train of the vehicle does not include a steering wheel, a deceleration pedal, or an acceleration pedal. 6. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the vehicle includes no user inputs for the steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the vehicle other than the set of user buttons. 7. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the dual-purpose button is configured to have an inactive state when the one or more computing devices are not ready to initiate the trip. 8. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the dual-purpose button is configured to have two active states, wherein a first of the two active states includes display information identifying that the button is operable for the first purpose and not the second purpose and a second of the two active states includes display information identifying that the button is operable for the second purpose and not the first purpose. 9. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to keep the dual-purpose button in an inactive state when the vehicle is not ready to initiate the trip. 10. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the emergency stopping button includes a cover configured to be moved into a first position in order to allow a passenger to activate the emergency stopping button. 11. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the emergency stopping button is configured to be pulled up to activate the emergency stopping button when the cover is in the first position. 12. A vehicle for maneuvering a passenger to a destination autonomously, the vehicle comprising: one or more computing devices;a set of user input buttons configured to communicate requests to stop the vehicle and to initiate a trip to the destination with the one or more computing devices, the set of user input buttons consisting essentially of: a first button configured to communicate a request to initiate the trip to the destination,a second button configured to communicate a request to stop the vehicle within a first period of time; anda third button different from the first button and the second button, configured to communicate a request to initiate an emergency stop within a second period of time less than the first period of time. 13. The vehicle of claim 12, wherein: the first button is configured to have an active state for communicating the request to initiate the trip to the destination and an inactive state; andthe second button is configured to have an active state communicating the request to stop the vehicle within the first period of time and an inactive state,the active state of the first button being available only when the second button is in the inactive state. 14. The vehicle of claim 13, wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to keep the first button in the inactive state when the vehicle is not ready to initiate the trip. 15. The vehicle of claim 13, wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to keep the second button in the inactive state until the trip has been initiated. 16. The vehicle of claim 11, wherein when the second button is activated, the one or more computing devices are configured to: initiate a countdown to allow a passenger to cancel the request to stop the vehicle; andwhen the countdown is completed, identify a location to stop the vehicle within the first period of time. 17. The vehicle of claim 12, wherein when the second button is activated, the one or more computing devices are configured to: stop the vehicle within the first period of time; andwhen the vehicle is stopped, put the first button into the active state and the second button into the inactive state. 18. The vehicle of claim 12, wherein when the third button is activated, the one or more computing devices are configured to: stop the vehicle within the second period of time; andput both the first button and the second button into the inactive states.
