Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating autonomous vehicle (AV) pullover clustering prevention. In some aspects, an embodiment includes receiving identification of an origin location and a destination location corresponding to a transportation trip request for an AV; determining a set of pullover locations comprising pickup locations for the origin location and drop-off locations for the destination location; for each pullover location of the set of pullover locations: determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) time window for the AV at the pullover location; determining a number of other AVs expected to be at the pullover location during the ETA time window; and responsive to the number of other AVs expected to be at the pullover location during the ETA time window exceeding an AV pullover crowding metric, removing the pullover location from the set of pullover locations to produce a revised set of pullover locations.
