Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for operating a vehicle based on at least one updated road rule. The system may include one or more sensors or communication devices. The one or more sensors or communication devices may be configured to acquire data indicative of at least one temporal change in a road rule. A processor is provided operatively connected to the one or more communication devices. The processor is configured to update a standard road rule to an updated road rule based on the temporal change in the road rule, determine a change in a driving maneuver permitted for the vehicle based on the updated road rule, and cause the vehicle to implement the change in the driving maneuver. The processor may also be configured to send a command to update a road map display of the vehicle to graphically illustrate the temporal change in the road rule.
