obtaining, from a plurality of global positioning system (GPS) devices located on or in an autonomous vehicle, a first set of location information that describes locations of multiple points on the autonomous vehicle, wherein the first set of location information are associated with a first position of the autonomous vehicle;
determining, based on the first set of location information and a location of a parking area, a trajectory information that describes a trajectory for the autonomous vehicle to be driven from the first position of the autonomous vehicle to a parking area;
causing the autonomous vehicle to be driven along the trajectory to the parking area by causing operation of one or more devices located in the autonomous vehicle based on at least the trajectory information;
obtaining an image from a camera located on the autonomous vehicle; and
determining, from the image, one or more attributes related to one or more objects detected in the image, wherein the causing the operation of the one or more devices is based on the trajectory information that is further based on the one or more attributes of the one or more objects.
