Abstract

Routes may be presented to a vehicle operator with information about predicted autonomous driving levels. A road network route to a destination is received. The road network route is partitioned into segments. Indicia of the segments are provided to an inference engine. The inference engine predicts levels of autonomous driving for the respective segments generated by the inference engine based on the indicia of the segments. Based on the predicted levels of autonomous driving for the respective segments, a ratio of a level of autonomous driving for the road network route is computed. The ratio corresponds to a proportion of time and/or distance for the road network route during which a driver-system is predicted to be engaged at the level of autonomous driving. A user interface is displayed, which includes a graphic representation of the road network route and a graphic indication of the ratio.
