Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems and methods for detecting road blockages and generating alternative routes. In some cases, a system detects, based at least in part on sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle, a portion of an environment that impedes a planned path of the autonomous vehicle. The system determines a semantic classification associated with the portion of the environment and transmits a re-routing request comprising the semantic classification to one or more remote computing devices. The system receives an instruction associated with navigating the autonomous vehicle around the portion of the environment from the remote computing devices, where the instruction includes an alternative route determined from a plurality of alternative routes. The system further controls the autonomous vehicle to navigate around the portion of the environment based at least in part on the instruction.
