Various examples are directed to systems and methods for routing a plurality of autonomous vehicles. A batch routing system may receive a first general route cost request from a first autonomous vehicle. The batch routing system may determine a first set of general routes for the first autonomous vehicle. The batch routing system may send a first general route cost reply to the first autonomous vehicle. The first general route cost reply may indicate a first set of costs associated with the first set of general routes. The first set of costs may comprise a first general cost for the first general route and a second general cost for the second general route.

Routing multiple autonomous vehicles using local and general route planning

Examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for autonomous vehicle control system testing. A testing utility may receive log data describing a first location of a capturing vehicle at a first driven route time and a second location of the capturing vehicle at a second drive route time. The testing utility may, using at least the location data, determine a first routing graph modification to constrain a navigator component of an autonomous vehicle control system under test. The testing utility may provide the first routing graph modification to the navigator component to cause the navigator component to generate a testing route.

Autonomous vehicle control system testing

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle. For example, a navigator system at an autonomous vehicle may generate a plurality of local routes beginning at a vehicle location and extending to a plurality of local route end points. The navigator system may access general route cost data, the general route cost data describing general route costs from the plurality of local route end points to a trip end point. The navigator system may select the first local route of the plurality of routes based at least in part on the general route cost data. A vehicle autonomy system at the autonomous vehicle may begin to control the autonomous vehicle along the first local route.

Autonomous vehicle routing with local and general routes

An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a vehicle computing system including one or more processors programmed to receive map data associated with a map of a geographic location, determine, based on the map data, one or more local routes in the one or more roadways between the current location of the AV and one or more exit locations, and control travel of the AV based on a selected local route of the one or more local routes. The map includes one or more roadways in the geographic location. The map data includes a global route in the one or more roadways between a current location of the AV and a destination location of the AV. The one or more exit locations are located between the current location of the AV and the destination location of the AV.

Global and local navigation for self-driving

An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a vehicle computing system including one or more processors programmed to receive map data associated with a map of a geographic location, including, one or more local routes in the one or more roadways between the current location of the AV and one or more exit locations, receive sensor data associated with an object detected in an environment surrounding the AV, select a local route of the one or more local routes based on the sensor data and control travel of the AV based on a selected local route of the one or more local routes. The map includes one or more roadways in the geographic location. The one or more exit locations are located between the current location of the AV and the destination location of the AV in a global route in the one or more roadways.
