1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a central computing device, a request for access associated with a particular one of a plurality of autonomous vehicles in a parking area;
determining, by the central computing device, that the particular autonomous vehicle is associated with one or more blocking autonomous vehicles;
determining, by the central computing device, a state of each of the one or more blocking autonomous vehicles; and
causing, by the central computing device, each of the one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to access stored pre-computed movements to performed by each of the one or more of the blocking autonomous vehicles based on the determined state of each of the one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to provide the requested access.

Abstract
A method includes receiving a request for access associated with a pre-assigned parking space of a particular one of a plurality of autonomous vehicles in a parking area, determining that the pre-assigned parking space of the particular autonomous vehicle has at least one blocking parking space that is pre-assigned to another autonomous vehicle, determining a state of the at least one blocking parking space with respect to the autonomous vehicle pre-assigned to it, and accessing pre-computed coordinated movements for the autonomous vehicles corresponding to the state of the at least one blocking parking space to provide the requested access.
