Abstract
An example method receives sensor data of a vehicle at a localized server associated with a particular geographic region that has one or more roadway segments. The vehicle is located in the particular geographic region. The method analyzes the sensor data to determine one or more of a localized lane option and a localized path option for navigating the vehicle and provides the one or more of the lane and the path for navigating the vehicle to a centralized server executing a route planer. The centralized server has data covering a plurality of geographic regions. The method determines a centralized route option including one or more of the localized lane option and the localized path option and provides the centralized route option including the one or more of the localized lane option and the localized path option to a guidance selector of a navigation application of the vehicle for processing.
