A method includes receiving, by a computing device of an autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles, instructions to travel to a target location, determining, by the computing device of the autonomous vehicle, that the autonomous vehicle is blocked from traveling to the target location by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles located at one or more blocking locations, and causing, by the computing device of the autonomous vehicle, coordinated movements by the autonomous vehicle and the one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to be performed to allow the autonomous vehicle to travel to the target location, wherein the coordinated movements include at least one of the blocking autonomous vehicles returning to its respective blocking location after allowing the autonomous vehicle to travel to the target location.
