Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for generating a reference line for operating an autonomous driving vehicle includes determining a first ending reference point having a smallest curvature among a plurality of points within a first defined distance along a path, generating a first reference line based on a first initial reference point and the first ending reference point, determining a second ending reference point having a smallest curvature among a plurality of points within a second defined distance along the path, generating a second reference line based on the first and second ending reference points and an end section of the first reference line, connecting the first and second reference lines, and controlling the autonomous driving vehicle along the connected first reference line and the second reference line.
