Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle having one or more computing devices that may receive instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location and determine when the vehicle is within a first distance of the pickup location. When the vehicle is within the first distance, the computing devices may make a first attempt to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger. When the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle on the first attempt, the computing devices may maneuvering the vehicle in order to make a second attempt to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger. When the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle on the second attempt, the computing devices may stop the vehicle in a current lane to wait for the passenger.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computing devices, instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location for a trip;determining, by the one or more computing devices, when a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode is within a first distance of the pickup location;when the vehicle is determined to be within the first distance, attempting, by the one or more computing devices, to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger within the first distance of the pickup location;determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location;based on the determination that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location, maneuvering, by the one or more computing devices, the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode back towards the pickup location; andafter maneuvering the vehicle, when the vehicle has reached the pickup location, stopping, by the one or more computing devices, the vehicle at the pickup location to wait for the passenger for a predetermined period of time. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined period is 3 seconds or less. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the attempting includes analyzing sensor data from a sensor of the vehicle corresponding to an area around the pickup location as well as map information corresponding to the area. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the attempting includes attempting to identifying areas to stop the vehicle including areas not designated as parking spots in the map information. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the attempting includes identifying a parking spot defined in the map information as occupied by an object based on the sensor data. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the object is a non-vehicle object. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the object is identified as a vehicle. 8. The method of claim 3, wherein the attempting includes identifying a parking spot defined in the map information as occupied by a hazard based on the sensor data. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the attempting includes attempting to find a parking spot outside of any traffic lane. 10. A system comprising one or more computing devices configured to: receive instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location for a trip;determine when a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode is within a first distance of the pickup location;when the vehicle is determined to be within the first distance, attempting to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger within the first distance of the pickup location;determining that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location;based on the determination that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location, maneuver the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode back towards the pickup location; andafter maneuvering the vehicle, when the vehicle has reached the pickup location, stop the vehicle at the pickup location to wait for the passenger for a predetermined period of time. 11. The system of claim 10, further comprising the vehicle. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the predetermined period is 3 seconds or less. 13. The system of claim 10, wherein the attempting includes analyzing sensor data from a sensor of the vehicle corresponding to an area around the pickup location as well as map information corresponding to the area. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the attempting includes attempting to identifying areas to stop the vehicle including areas not designated as parking spots in the map information. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the attempting includes identifying a parking spot defined in the map information as occupied by an object based on the sensor data. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the object is a non-vehicle object. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein the object is identified as a vehicle. 18. The system of claim 13, wherein the attempting includes identifying a parking spot defined in the map information as occupied by a hazard based on the sensor data. 19. The system of claim 10, wherein the attempting includes attempting to find a parking spot outside of any traffic lane. 20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which instructions are stored, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising: receiving instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location for a trip;determining when a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode is within a first distance of the pickup location;when the vehicle is determined to be within the first distance of the pickup location, making a first attempt to find a spot to park the vehicle and wait for the passenger within the first distance of the pickup location;determining that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location;based on the determination that the vehicle is unable to find a spot to park the vehicle within the first distance of the pickup location, maneuvering the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode back towards the pickup location; andafter maneuvering the vehicle, when the vehicle has reached the pickup location, stopping the vehicle at the pickup location to wait for the passenger for a predetermined period of time.
